I would suggest a major metropolitan city. 

also, happy to chat vendors, contractors, any other suggestions, etc. with you and be a resource anyway I can!

Quote from @Dave Allen: Quote from @Zeke Liston: Quote from @Dave Allen: I'm in a bit of a situationMy wife and her parents are selling a duplex they own together.My wife is trusting me to re invest into cash positive investments.We could stand to take as much as a quarter million, and tax free since we lived in the property 2 of the last 5 years.What are some suggestions for markets that would provide cashflow?

House needs some Interior Cosmetic Work, Wood Fence Repairs and some Plumbing Work.I want to turn and run, but I recently heard where there is a Problem, there is Opportunity.I thought this might be an interesting Case Study.Thanks for the Ideas.If the situation is as dire as you suggest, there are other bills he hasn't paid and there are likely liens on the property.

SIH has some marketing gimmick with the Real Estate Guys where they bus unsuspecting retail customers around to the sites to see home being built.

That person is responsible for anyone one else that comes into contact with your property.I suggest using a service like Mayistay.

Currently, my interests are Indianapolis and Louisville (though I would welcome other suggestions). 

If you have time, I'd suggest you travel through Southern Spain and then Southern Italy and then you tell us if it's similar.

It gives me another exit strategy by having the option to sell off individual properties to retail buyers if needed.

Retail, office, industrial?
