I've got most south and southwest of Milwaukee. 

I am actually an investor in the south west side of Columbus.

Not sure what the regulations are in TX, since when I owned property there is was south and south west of Houston and water was not an issue.

@Tom HeidelWelcome to BP and South West Florida.

This is more part and parcel to the effects of "climate change" than simple changes in average temperature during a given year.Those who know me well know I have a bone to pick with cities built in deserts (read: the southwest).

Looking to invest outside of CA and perhaps in southwest, Texas, AZ, NM, what are some good markets right now and why do you like them?

I have even developed small land projects and built a high end custom 4200 sqft 3 bdrm 3.5 ba home in the Temecula Wine Country.Now I would like to ramp up my retirement getting involved in fix n flip, buy n hold projects within the Southwest Riverside County.

Then east to fayetteville tn ( 25 miles north of Huntsville) then south to Lake Guntersville and then southwest back to Cullman.

I was born and raised in Chicago (Archer Heights-southwest side by Midway Airport and Jefferson Park, where my parents still reside) and also just joined the BP community just a few days ago.As far as investment preferences, there's no right or wrong answer.

I'm looking at multiplexes in Southwest Chicago (McKinley Park, Pilsen, etc).
