Every year realtor.com releases a Top Housing Markets report based on anticipated sales growth (inventory) and price growth (appreciation).

What would you say your goal is: A) Cashflow Growth B) Net-worth Growth  The goal is to learn as much as I can about multi family or similar apartments and to get started by the EOY.

Any city that I'm looking to invest in I always start by looking at population growth.

If you care just about positive cash flow (and you don't care about population growth, macroeconomics, or appreciation), definitely go with Cleveland.

Both Charlotte and Raleigh are very strong growth markets, for all of the reasons that you mentioned.

Just wondering what tools others use to analyze different markets to invest in like Growth, Economy, Neighborhoods, etc. 

Investors should keep an eye on government spending in housing to understand how these changes might shape local markets.At the same time, Bessent’s focus on driving GDP growth could bring a surge of opportunities.

Positive Cash FlowImmediate cash flow isn’t always possible in growth markets.

Like most places with growth though, it's hard to find properties to cash flow given interest rates etc. 

Not to mention the economic development steps the town is taking in ensuring the growth of town (roads, schools, zoning) stays on par with the future expected population growth and new jobs that are going to be a result of the new factories opening.
