IMO, at this time you'd be better off staying closer to the core of the city and looking for value add where you can force appreciate it to get an equity bump, hold for long term market appreciation, and cashflow as icing on the cake.

But my philosophy (and I believe @Nick S. also) that if it cash flows and the tenants are paying down the mortgage and in an area expected to be desirable in 10-15 years or whatever your time frame to exit might be), then it is worthwhile and any appreciation is "icing on the cake".  

I always look at appreciation as icing on the cake.

To deny climate change outright is foolish.However, the degree of change is so minuscule that it would never be noticed in several lifetimes.Do not be surprised if 10 years from now the media will tout warnings of a global ice age.Just look at history:https://anhonestclimatedebate.wordpress.com/2009/08/02/climate-change-alarmism-timelin/

All it was, was the guests left the top freezer drawer ajar overnight and ice built up and was diverting water down to the floor.

I just seen Brandon Turner on the iced coffee hour podcast the a couple days ago.
