If I am going to invest outside of my backyard, I would prefer to make a data driven decision about what city has potential for growth (based primarily on job growth, not just development of hipster coffee shops), while exhibiting sufficient cash flow to enter a deal. 

I believe it is a harder market to enter due to its popularity.

Here is a $500 phone, now give me $3600 over the next 36 months.Ill give you $500 if you enter into a contract to return $3600 to me.

We are looking at a duplex as a rental investment, but do not know how to view the numbers crutched by BP calculator, whether the asking price is solid for investment.List Price = $200KDown Payment = $40KRent = $18,000 / yr  ($700 + $800 per month)Taxes = $2800 / yrWater & Sewer = $1320 / yrInsurance = $650 / yrI entered a 5% vacancyI did not load in maintenance expense or other costs like lawn care but if I did, I would assume 10%Here are the numbers I gotCash on Cash ROI = 8.18%Gross Rent Multi = 11.11Debt Coverage Ratio = 1.412% Rule = 0.74Thoughts?
