I've helped many REI's, and partnered with some) do this very thing.Yes, you may be able to cash flow in Midwest but the best combination of low-priced single family homes in great neighborhoods with better cash flow in growing cities can be found in cities in the SouthEast and South.Midwest, SE, South,...all of them have areas that work,...and don't. 

Hey all, Im a GC in Northern Colorado, and buy and hold investor in SE Wisconsin (home country) My thought is to buy one off lots here in CO and "install" really nice modular homes on them.

It’s basically a brand new house per se.

There are some excellent cash flow markets in the SE.

I help investors build real estate portfolios outside of CA predominantly in the SE markets. 

I am a first time investor interested in potentially doing a house hack with the following property :https://www.redfin.com/OR/Portland/10692-SE-34th-Ave-97222/h...it is a single family home with 2 ADUs so I see a lot of potential for a house hack,Any feedback would be much appreciated Thanks,-Cody

looking to buy this property as a first time investor,thinking about doing STR for the ADUs and marketing them to nurses since its near a hospitalhttps://www.redfin.com/OR/Portland/10692-SE-34th-Ave-97222/h...any advice or tips would be much appreciated

I am sure myself or someone I know can help you out in SE Ohio area. 

My biggest concern would be the location is not that interesting for a “vacation” per se.

I can help with understanding and knowing which markets to consider in the SE USA.
