Personally, I think Kansas City and Indianapolis are the two best cash flow markets in the country right now. both cash flow well, but in addition to cash flow, they have strong economic and demographic fundamentals with vibrant economies.

It’s a vibrant country and the cities are those of the future.

This is a great and vibrant community!

What are the biggest factors in a vibrant REI?

Here are a few reasons why:* Clearly, housing is not an impulse buy, but rather something people have to have, so I believe that it is still a vibrant market with hidden opportunities.* I have sales skills.

In the old picture the brick looks dull and the after picture it looks vibrant and attractive and I have seen this multiple times on flips.

I just read the original thread---juicy...I can't answer the where, but I'm going to take a stab at what to look for (which is at the core of the question---you have to know the "what" before you can find the "where"): - Follow the employers---seek areas where employment is both vibrant and growing (job growth leads to migration patterns---people have a tendency to follow the money)- Seek a community with current or future infrastructure expansion intentions.

We renovated the properties and the cove completely redoing the properties themselves and adding fences to cut off walkways and cut-throughs from other neighborhoods and apartments, planting trees, shrubs and flowers, painting the brick to bring vibrant colors and generally raised the "look" of this area from urban decay to urban renewal.

Our city decided a few years back to start a revitalization program to create a more vibrant, sustainable, and just community..

The close in to downtown neighborhoods are certainly vibrant.
