@Jim Wang Kansas City is a good cash flow market with a diverse, growing population and economy.

It doesn’t address market correlations and characteristics for example such as if you had a geographically diverse portfolio but heavily concentrated toward growth markets, you would almost certainly get hit if growth markets took a hit even if you bought 3,000 notes.

Make sure it's diverse and has a growing population.  

Hassle free tenants by culture.

In New England, there's a lot of diversity in features. $1,500 is certainly the median rent for this type of unit. 

You have picked a great place to be with its diversity and population growth.  

A generation of “digital natives” (those who have grown up with technology and social media), Millennials are diverse, as well as the most educated generation up to this point.

No dealing/trafiking convictions within 10 years (recidivism, typically repeat offender conviction, invites criminal culture).

Look in the middle of the country at secondary and tertiary markets with stable and growing economies that are relatively diverse and not at the mercy of one large corporation. 

So I am in a unique situation currently because I don't own a home and live with my parents (common cultural thing for South East Asians) and now they are moving to Virginia but aren't selling this home.
