That depends on what I am starting with capital wise, family wise, and intentions.If I'm a regular joe believing the ******** BP and other areas state of FI in 5 years with REI I take a chill pill and start buying in an area that's showing promise(already changing) in a city that's growing(industry, population wise) that's free from natural disaster risk(as best as I could).

There's no magic pill.
