I'm on the hunt for a property to fix and flip in the Pueblo West area.

any good recommendation for good property management company in South West San Antonio for managing upto 20 units multifamily

With the numbers you mentioned, I actually like the west suburbs where John does a bunch of work.What's your why behind wanting to invest in real estate?

I currently lean toward upstate NY and MI (Detroit metro) as I live in the west but have family in Canada not far from those locations and the idea of being able to visit family with trips that can double as business write-offs is appealing.

I do have one bungalow on the west side rented at $1,400/mo which is at least $100-$150 more than I'd get with a cash tenant. 

We are looking for STR options in Lakeland now and looking around that West Coast area as well.

In 2016 my parents loaned me the down payment for a rental property ($150k toward a $600k duplex in a midsize East Coast city).

Cash flow and appreciation are the main key factors here.As someone who lives in Los Angeles and invest in the mid west I clearly see the differences between a low cash flow (inexpensive) rental and more costly rental that generates thousands of dollars and month in cashflow.

In the south and west side 7-10%.

A lot of out-of-state investors from the east and west coast are investing here due to the crazy growth over the last 3-5 years.
