Primary Markets: These are major cities, often with populations exceeding a million.

Phoenix is a hot market for housing investors due to its increasing population, healthy job market and steady demand for housing.Why Phoenix?

If you had the opportunity to purchase a cash flowing property with no money down in a town of 500 that is 30 minutes from a metropolitan area of 130k in population, would you do it?

Seems like inventory is up 7.5% and population is up 10%?

In an accompanying video, I also pointed out that Utah had the highest population growth from new births (see the heatmap above, courtesy of Pew Research Center’s analysis of Census data).Metros along the Wasatch Front, such as Salt Lake City, UT; Provo, UT; and Ogden, UT continue to see strong job growth, low vacancy rates, and relatively high price appreciation.

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with some of the fastest population and job growth and companies moving and developing here.

It makes sense because of their population growth and the strong job metrics of the area. 

If your goal is only initial cash flow, almost any major metro with a declining population will meet this need.

I am looking to buy my first investment property and have seen strong fundamentals in Indianapolis (job growth, population and median wage).As an out of state investor, I am looking to connect with investors/agents in the area to build further knowledge on specifics with the markets and hopefully bring business to in the future!

Plus, the city's investor-friendly environment, high renter population, and strong lender/contractor network make it an ideal place to build your portfolio.
