However, I have no idea how to choose from the remaining cities, it seems there are a lot of potential options:- Midwest - Michigan (ie: Grand Rapids) seems to have options, also seeing Columbus Ohio and Indianapolis coming up- Reno - I've seen mentioned several times on here- Pittsburgh / Philadelphia / Twin Cities - All mentioned as lower cost to get started, and seem to be experiencing growthI'd ideally like to find a place that has strong potential for future growth, a diversified economy, and I don't mind living in (being close to nature would be a plus). 

Usually you're falling somewhere in the $150-$200 range, but you really need to understand this number and how to determine it.The market, in general, in Detroit is rapidly appreciating.

But I can't help but think that I could benefit from the occasional discussion about real estate strategies or bounce opportunities off one another.Coach Carson's RPM program details below:Cost: ~$2500/yearBenefits (form Website):Personalized Coaching: Members receive direct support and feedback from Coach Carson and selected coaches, including monthly group coaching sessions, one-on-one "hot seat" calls, and small group coaching within Action Teams.Action Teams: These are accountability groups of 8-10 members that meet weekly over a three-month period to set and achieve goals, fostering perseverance and resilience among participants.Comprehensive Resources: Members have access to a repository of documents, systems, checklists, and more in the community swipe file, including tenant screening criteria, due diligence checklists, and rental analysis spreadsheets.Exclusive Community: RPM offers a private community of like-minded investors who prioritize time and freedom over scaling rapidly, providing a supportive environment for shared learning and growth.The Group Targets:Investors with experience owning 1 to 8+ properties, whether short-term (e.g., Airbnb), mid-term, or long-term rentals.Individuals who are coachable, hardworking, and value time and freedom over aggressive scaling.

@Jeff Schechter thanks for sharing your insights about Indy, I've studied different metrics and I compared them to places like Jamaica queens where I own a SFH rental and have experienced the changes of the neighborhood myself,  Or places like Newark which is changing rapidly due to NYC crazy prices and proximity to Manhattan and I hope Indy could offer me some of that.

The world is changing rapidly in front of us for all of us to see but we're all too much bogged down in the minutiae of our lives that we fail or just don't want to see it.To conclude, I'm not quite suggesting that you liquidate all your US assets in a hurry to go and invest everything overseas.

The city is rapidly growing with many companies choosing to move and develop here like Intel, Google, Honda, Amazon, Meta, etc.

I intend to relocate to the Rapid City, SD region in April/May for work, and I plan to acquire a primary residence that could eventually be transformed into an investment property.

If structured well, this strategy will position you for rapid expansion.
