The happy medium between buying at the price which will cash flow, yet still realizing some apprecition over time could be said for any market.For that reason, I like to look for deals not in the inner city.

@Tony Spencer, You can think about Medium Term Rental instead of STR in the Tacoma area.

What is the best medium to reach you through in order to set up a meeting? 

There are lots of conversions, as it makes a small duplex into a nice medium/large single family house.

I would like to diversify and build a cash-flow portfolio in the US, I have few friends who invest in Memphis (and used some of the TK providers here) so think it will be good place to start. im interested in B, B+ maybe areas where there are better tenants and possibility of some rent growth over the medium- long term.

Having a ton of trouble finding a SFH or duplex that rents for 1% of the gross price, let alone one that has + cash flow after accounting for taxes and maintenance.I'm looking in a Midwest, medium COL location.

Hi, i've just purchased my first investment property in Cleveland and I'm looking for a General Contractor for help with small/ medium renovations and updates to my home.   

I can tell you for smaller rentals we pay $1,000 to $1,500 per year - those homes probably are worth $125-175,000.We have medium size house in the $250-300,000 that run in the mid 2,000 per year for insurance, and up at the $700-800,000 range we pay around $5,000.   

That seems to be really hot and competitive right now.I wasn't really referring to your typical turnkey average priced SFR, however I'm sure that market is hot too right now for medium price range to lower price range homes.  

I am looking for ideas on the different mediums to use to buy more investment property like auctions etc.
