Unfortunately the US is always in conflict somewhere, so i consider all military a stable job market.Value add and under market price.

Just Find a good stable rental market like i did.

Not the most stable instrument for a longer term hold. 

I stick to the suburbs - higher prices, yes, but better schools and stable home values.

I'm sticking to Arizona and Texas where the market is stable and government likes investors.

Yes our taxes are rather high, but I feel like our ‘stable’ real estate market makes up for that. 

@Anastasia Kristina I found a few markets in Ontario and Quebec that have great cash flow, good and constant increases in property value while being stable markets (low vacancy, high rent to purchase ratios, above average population growth).I like Outaouais, Laurentides, Lanaudieres, Estrie and certain pockets of Montreal in Quebec.

Currently I run an online business, and part of the reason for the desire to get involved with a rental property is that I see rental properties as a smarter and more stable long term investment as compared to an online business that can dry up in a few years time.Currently I live in a very low income city on the east coast.

You said there is no appreciation in site, I think it would be better to find a multi family in the "path of progress" or even in a better area that will be stable, with potential upside, as opposed to this deal that seems mostly negative.
