MelissaHi Melissa, I would strongly recommend taking a look into Columbus Ohio. 

I think flips only make sense when even if budget goes up 20% your numbers still show a strong profit. 

The market is VERY strong now for townhouses and villas but I would stay clear from apartments as we have so many in the market and more launching daily....So I bought my own property here in Dubai last year, an offplan townhouse at 2.1 mill aed , today it is worth 3 mill aed!

If you're looking for strong appreciation, Dallas and Houston are great markets.

Build a strong team, prioritize cash flow, and take the time to understand the local market and regulations, especially for development projects.

You can certainly find a property for cash flow that may also bring you a strong return on that investment.

There are strong path-of-progress areas, but you need to know the nuances.

That being said, rental rates are remaining fairly strong, and with such an equitable position in your property, your cash flow should remain a positive net to you. 

Here are some reasons to get the ball rolling:Thriving Market: Florida's population continues to boom, fueled by warm weather, a strong job market, and a business-friendly climate.

Submitting real offers that you feel confident actually closing on and having a strong sponsor to work with that has a track record will go much further towards you winning deals.In short, you can pursue larger deals right out of the gate if you want to, but generally expect that it'll take you longer to win one and make sure you have the right players on your team so that you're prepared to win them and to close them once you do.
