If you are looking for cash flow and appreciation, probably need to buy in a more coastal state. May want to look into a duplex or triplex. Many times you sacrifice appreciation for cash flow from my experience in many states. This is why it's important to buy an asset at a discount or that is being utilized below it's highest and best use. This way  you walk into equity and can force appreciation. 

@Keivan Cross I would start with where you live. Your local, boots on the ground, advantage is so strong, and investors overlook this all the time. If you have to look at an out of state market, then I would pick a larger market so you have options in terms of who you work with. In smaller tertiary markets, there may not be a ton of property managers, agents, or contractors.
