I want to be able to own shopping centers/malls and hotels one day, so books that can cover those topics.

Are there any cities or neighborhoods that you’ve seen consistent success with for multi-family properties?

Bonus that the rents are higher than the lower comps you pulled (double check because tenants shop around, so may be your comps were not equivalent). 

But that is just my experience and B neighborhoods.

I'd look in the Bridgeport neighborhood.

My goal was to be a little active to make a higher return and to do that I needed to be in the same neighborhood where I live.

Some items considering:- Chichen Itza- Swimming in cenote Ik Kil- Valladolid Centro- Las Coloradas- Izamal- Akumal beach- Shopping in Playa del Carmen- Tulum Ruins- Cenote Dos Ojos- Xplor- Parque Nacional de los Arrecifes (cozumel island)Have not yet looked into transportation or lodging for period outside the conference dates.  

@Gagandeep SinghYou might want to follow the "Deep Dive" series we're doing on our BiggerPockets blog about Metro Detroit cities, City of Detroit Neighborhoods and comparing Metro Detroit to other hotspots investors usually consider: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/99854-deep-dive-into-metro-detroit-cities-ecorseOur analysis is a template you can follow for any city.

So while yes, 100%, over a long enough timeline real estate at median has always risen, specific neighborhoods have fallen from grace and generations later never recovered to par (inflation adjusted that is). 

Whether you target higher-end areas like Midtown or more affordable neighborhoods like Frayser, there are opportunities to succeed in every price range.
