I've read numerous posts on people suggesting certain cities to invest in, but was wondering how do you determine if the city is a good one?

I'm more of a conservative investor, so I'd say slow and steady beats quick and risky :)Since you haven't made your first investment yet, this is a little bit cart-before-the-horse, but once you have that first MFR under your belt, don't forget that you can always use the 1031 exchange to leapfrog it into bigger and better, or smaller and more numerous, if you find other, more lucrative, REI opportunities down the road.

@Helen ZhangActually it has been discussed numerous times here on BP.

Take that quote to two smaller/local suppliers and tell them to beat it.

The review below has been submitted to the BBB and posted on numerous review sites.I was contacted by Phoenix Home Buyers Club, who made an offer to buy our house.

Call it beginner’s luck, but for all of you who are considering investing in real estate, this exact phenomenon most likely won’t happen but there are numerous other ways of building wealth through real estate.

All have told me that the market is on the rise and numerous Burroughs are popping up around and in the city.

And there are numerous others. 

Do your homework and head to some of the local suppliers and get pricing on the boilers.

I have had numerous houses with ungrouded outlets.
