There is no secret formula but more of a healthy mix of things that makes a target area a great choice. 

The property just barely cash flows but the market is healthy and there's the drama of moving to states I don't know etc. 

My name is Daryl Arias, Live in Miami Florida, and a couple of months ago i helped a friend, buy a Foreclosed Condo around the Hammocks Area, we fixed it and now its rented and giving him a healthy 15 percent per year plus the value of the home is now around 25% more than what we paid.

Depends.I see Real Estate Investment like losing weight: you have to find what works for you and stick to it, in a healthy way.Some people are marathon runners, others are power-lifters.

Indy has great value and is a healthy rental market.

My health is back and I can start a new career or do what I love!

The increasing population, 5 military bases, over 16 colleges & universities, 2 major medical centers, proximity to Eagle Ford, and the fact that it's first major city north of the Mexican border all help make this a healthy market for investors

So, in a few months’ time I managed to flip his house for a healthy profit.

I ended up doing the remodel for around $7k and it's currently netting me a healthy profit.

If I had the means, the youth, and the health, I would be investing there like crazy, buying entire neighborhoods, and talking my investor friends to buy the surrounding neighborhoods and businesses.
