Personal opinion with no good arguable basis, but I just don't like any of those accounts personally.

If you can buy cheaply in a somewhat less desirable area now, but still arguably within the someday-Yale bubble, and cash flow OK for now, I think that's great (and you can probably do better than "OK" if you are patient, though the market is competitive).Bridgeport's proximity to NYC is a huge boon.

In regards to your question about Vegas, the market has improved significantly since the fall and unless you are buying at a discount via wholesaler, auction, etc the metrics are not great unless you are buying for appreciation in which case it is arguably the highest appreciating market next to maybe Seattle.

The first and arguably most important question I would ask is occupancy %.

Valparaiso is a good area to invest in and it is arguably one of the most desirable communities in NW Indiana due to its historical downtown and university.
