I'm 27 and finally got $200k saved up for my real estate investment journey. It's always been a dream of mine to move to the U.S. (currently live in Europe) together with my girlfriend and invest in real estate. My current employer just approved my transfer to the U.S. and has offices in almost each of the major cities in the U.S. so I'm looking for a city with a great cash-flowing real estate market (preferably also a nice city to live in so I can convince my girlfriend haha). I want to buy some small multifamily rentals (duplex/triplex/fourplex) and make down payments with my current savings, continue to work a couple of years and retire when my cash flow covers my living expenses so I can go full-time real estate.
Any recommendations in terms of cities would be most welcome! Currently thinking of Charlotte, NC, or Austin, TX (probably with investments in San Antonio), but I wonder if there are better (growing) markets for cash-flowing properties with a growing market that are nice to live in?
