I may be a little biased, but I would suggest you take a long hard look at Kansas City.  We  are well known for having excellent returns on long term rentals as well as flips.

@David Ziccardi, I love to hear that Kansas City is at the top of the list for so many investors!  Multi family is in such high demand now here, that it has become very difficult to find sellers that aren't asking above market price.  I have several opportunities that you might be interested in.  PM me or send me an email for more details.

We have had good success with Shelter Insurance.  They have a good landlord policy that is inexpensive.  I think any agent can help you but we use:

@Chris Sickler it is always best to split out your businesses into separate LLCs for the reasons already mentioned above and just as importantly for liability purposes. If you get sued by a tenant, you don't want them to lump your flip business into their lawsuit. I have clients that use a different business for every type of investing that they do, such as SFRs, multi family, commercial and flips. In general, if you are working with a different set of clients/tenants/buyers you should be using a different LLC. For the same reasons, my company, Arrow Realty Network, has separate LLCs for each division (residential real estate sales, commercial sales, property management, construction, and redevelopment).
