The Southeast states would be a good fit for you.

If you are looking primarily for cash flow, and not appreciation there are any number of markets, primarily in the midwest and southeas,t that can a passive investor can purchase property fully rehabbed and fully managed with very decent cash flow and low entry points.  

@Warner Alexander  I've fixed, flipped and rented hundreds of properties in KCMO.. from north to south.. east to west..

There are many markets in the South East and Midwest that provide plenty of investment opportunities to investors. 

@Ralph Richardson We have seen great opportunities for cash flow, in the southeast markets.

Particularly the southeast! 

I am originally from Nebraska and their are great deals to be had in the Omaha and Lincoln area, however, they won't appreciate as much and taxes are a lot higher.

I am based in Dallas-Fort Worth and do deals in several markets in the Midwest and Southeast monthly.

I invest in Nebraska (tenant friendly) and live in Colorado (landlord friendly)Hope this helps.

I have a 1935 house in Nebraska and have no issues with keep it cool on 100 degree days and 70% humidity.
