It’s a market where cash flow is achievable without needing a massive upfront investment.

Hello @Daniel Summer,The Memphis market has a solid MHA/Sec 8 rental.

Utah market.

We are Canadian in invest in the US.We work in the Detroit market where we have a great team on the ground and are finding exceptional deals.

While we are not immune to market shifts, we typically don't see huge bubble bursts. 

I was sent an offering memo by a broker selling a multi-family building in an area no reasonable person would even consider affordable housing material yet the marketing materials made a point of emphasis to detail how the property would satisfy the need for affordable housing.

If you are willing to live in urban areas you may want to talk to a local bank in your market and see if they have any incentives or grant loans for certain areas.  

These cities are the well known, sub 100k markets in the US.

Another concern is after the two years, I still wouldn’t be lendable for most properties in my markets due to that lack of income.
