How is the job growth, population growth and trend of the median income in your area?

I looked into buying a cash-flowing multi in places like Lowell, Worcester and Brockton, places where you can get a solid cap rate and I think are ripe for organic rent growth and appreciation (though markets like Worcester have gone up quite a bit recently).Places in Boston hold value and tend to appreciate, and the rental market is great.

I bet the drivers would appreciate being paid upon completion of the task as well. 

@Michael LuoLinear growth is slower than exponential growth.

Atlanta is a high growth market with 2.9M people projected to move here by 2030.

To accelerate growth, commercial multifamily properties (6+ units) offer a better opportunity.

You will need to get a local, rockstar Realtor, contractor, lender, and property manager. https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-team As for picking a specific market, I would choose one that has job and population growth with a high median income, and Columbus, Ohio is a great choice.

I figured that REI is the best place to grow the money with tax benefits (mortgage interest, property taxes, depreciation).

You can also look at the unemployment rate and trends (as well as job growth for the town) to give you an indicator of demand moving forward.
