The United States is enormous and widely diverse in people, cultures, climates, economies, markets, etc. 

I personally am looking at primary or secondary markets with diverse job force as this market approaches what I believe is the top.

Therefore, many neighborhoods are going through a renaissance, if you will, as they are redeveloped, but you need someone who really knows the various diverse areas and what each can offer. 

Look for markets with growing populations and jobs in diverse, modern industries.

@Rhoda AgyepongChicago market is very diverse.

Diversity.

Markets with strong economic and demographic trends and diverse. modern economies are going to provide a better total return in the long run.

If you're looking at a 30 year hold time, I'd rather by in a market like Denver with a very diverse economy.If you're able to.... house hack!
