I am a buy and hold cash flow investor currently with four properties in another location in the south east.

Stay away from south east and certain parts of north east...GL

I'm leaning towards the first on but it does not have a pool and in the Southeast, I feel like a pool would be better even though it's only 15 minutes from the beach.

I have to look at 20+ properties a day, but there are nice cash flowing deals out there, mostly in the Southeast.

Appreciation and Cashflow rarely go together, you have to pick your fight: If you're looking for Cash flow, I'd recommend the Midwest (Michigan and Ohio), if you're more into appreciation the Southeast (Florida, Georgia..)The best areas to invest in my opinion are Class B areas in the suburbs of the Midwest, ideally with an ARV of $100k to 250k and a monthly rent between 1200 and 2000.

I have lived in this city for over 40 years and have worked the streets of the southwest and southeast side for 12 years. 

While the city can pack in new build houses forever out east, the west side has a natural barrier to building -- the mountains -- so those will always be desirable areas.C neighborhoodsYou can still find some 3/2 homes for under $300k in the southeast and eastern neighborhoods. 

The southeast and sunbelt is on a tear as far as growth goes and are mostly landlord friendly.

Lived on the southeast end all my life so I somewhat understand the market.
