You could grab something in the midwest, but that's a rough tenant pool and properties don't appreciate at the same rate as they do in the west. 

Maybe one of these: Bank of the West, Consolidated CCU, East West Bank (super easy, no doc), Red Canoe CU, Quroum FCU, Signature FCU, WAFD Bank, 

Here are pockets I focus on for cash flow:West side - West boulevard, Cudell, Clark-Fulton, Jefferson, Bellaire-Puritas, Old BrooklynEast side - Fairfax, Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights, Lee-Miles (the north side), BedfordHere are the areas that I focus on for appreciation:West side - Lakewood, Edgewater, Old Brooklyn, Ohio City, Tremont (above 490)East side - Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Fairfax*I have a graded neighborhood map of these areas as well if you would like to check it out.

Other key strategies may include finding homes with a lake or forest view, or near the clubhouse, south- or west-facing pool, the list goes on.Happy to chat about some ideas and learn more!
