I ran across a great article in a local business journal with the headline: Renting is on the rise in the U.S.

I included a little blurb from the Colorado Business Journal that shows that the appreciation is just as high (if not higher) than Denver.

I think you will find them in the Marietta Daily Journal though. 

@Sundri KhalsaMay investors find it more difficult to cash-flow with a condo because they may potentially have high monthly fees.In general it is hard to cash-flow in areas of close proximity to NYC.However, I find it hard to believe that a Condo is selling for as low as $270,000 in Jersey City.It is in the west-outskirts of Jersey city towards Journal Square?

If you're on a budget I'd consider the old part of Elk Grove or Oak park (for our purposes Oak Park = Oakland...nice downtown, near the grid, but still a long way to go).Not familiar with Costa Hawkins, but Sac Business Journal and other local publications interview county decision makers who, at least publicly, say rent control is not a likely option. 

Here is a link on the subject from the Wall Street Journal Real Estate section.http://www.realestatejournal.com/buysell/tactics/20070321-kim.htmlAlso check my my past posts on the subject.I am also looking to get into student rentals.

Also buy an ad in apartment shoppers and other journals related to renting.

No ads in the paper/journals?
