Cash flow is King!  

But, cash is always king.

If you haven't looked into full-service turnkey options, especially in the south and midwest where cash flow is king, I would highly recommend that you do some research into what your money could do in a good market with quality management.

I don't care about a college stats in a town where manufacturing is the king pin of the economy.

Every king needs a queen that’s just as hungry as him.

If you believe cash flow is king, the Midwest can help you achieve that if you stay away from the bigger cities, but if your looking for higher appreciation it may not be the market for you.

@Michael King I miss Vancouver a lot!

I have one memory foam and one gel hybrid for the King and Queen.

North Linden, South of Main, Vassor Village, Woodland Park, MT Vernon, Milo-Grogan, Franklinton, Merrion Village, Hungarian Village, Southern Orchards, Driving Park, Olde Towne East, Franklin Park, King Lincoln, Old Oaks, Livingston Park are all but not limited to some areas in Columbus, Ohio I think will gentrify quickly and make for great long term buy and holds.

Southern Orchards, Old Oaks, Milo-Grogan, Franklinton, King Lincoln or if you want SFH, Whitehall or even Grove City can easily beat the 1% rule.
