Population growth is low, so the long term outlook is unclear. 

.: @Steve K.totally agree. my point was that we won't see continued population growth going forward like we did from 1990-2020, and even in the absence of that growth, housing demand will remain strong.  

It will be interesting to see how Kentucky's economic growth impacts these areas. 

I really don’t know how to move forward.I do not see how this works$3800 (rent) - ~$1600 (p&i) -$340 (taxes) - $250 (insurance) - ~$1200 (maintenace/cap ex) - $380 (PM)  - $180 (vacancy) - $400 (water) ~$50 (misc) = -$600/monthin a market that appreciation and rent growth has not historically kept up with inflation.  

There are still some great markets for this type of growth. 

Right now, I’m focused on building a strong foundation in real estate by expanding my network and learning strategies for sustainable growth.

Starting with buy-and-hold single-family and multifamily properties is a great strategy, especially in a market like Cincinnati, which has solid rental demand and growth potential.

Hey Rajesh:I looked all over the west coast and couldn't find much in terms of markets/job growth/other infrastructure dev that showed appreciation and cash flow (both) would be very good.

Tampa has a lot of value-add opportunities in gentrifying areas where you can snag deals that balance growth and stability.

I would definitely focus on market growth oppose to finding a cheap property.
