As long as UN is open, there will be a steady stream of temporary residents looking to rent instead of buy

Can you show a steady rental income?

I live an hour from detroit, but prices have been on a steady climb since 2012.

Do you have a W2 job that provides a steady income?  

@Alex Deacon thank you Alex, 100% agree with you - slow and steady!

If you have a bad tenant, they can make your life a lot more complicated.Property management is not steady work.

The interesting part about Tulsa, is because of housing being at such a low cost, and rental rates being decently high comparatively, you can purchase a newer home with few issues, or a rock steady rental, instead of having to buy a sub class of house.

My initial plan was to do the Dave Ramsey style of investing which was to pay it off quick as possible and eventually own it up right, but then I started learning of all the possibilities to get a steady cash flow over time And not to mention, how EXPENSIVE most of California is right now. 

It's really not a viable market, IMO, shoot for nicer homes, while that may be slower to grow it will be steady and real estate is a long term game.

I'm not looking for a quick buck, so I'm okay with slow, steady growth.At least average public schools.Can anyone recommend any good neighborhoods in the greater Denver area where I should be focusing my efforts?
