Hey BP Community,


I hope you are having a great day!  I'm a buy-&-hold investor and have an opportunity to move anywhere in the United States. I hold a corporate job that makes a 6-figure salary and I have a few properties under my belt.  I currently live in southern California and it takes significant effort and time to build the capital to purchase the rental property.

I'm planning to move to a place where multi-family houses are in relatively low value (around $200k) or maybe 8-10 units with less than $500k. Ideally, I will like a cash flow of $500 per month or more.

Any suggestions? So far, I find Memphis, TN, Little Rock, AR, and Birmingham, AL.

You have to do your own cost and benefit analysis but I am usually in favor of selling the condo because duplex or SFH appreciates better and you don't have to deal with rising the cost of HOA.
