Funny story, but actually one of our MTR tenants is an interim VP for Cone hospital who is in charge of their real estate development acquisition department.

Quote from @Brandon Morgan: hey guys I am new to real estate and I just got my first rental property this past year and have tenants and things are finally stable now.

@Rajesh Kasturi My favorite MTR market for cash flow AND appreciation is Portland, OR. 

Quote from @Yianni Hahalis: I'm looking to move to Cleveland within the year and get my foot in the door with real estate.

Quote from @Hemed Tov: I would really get with someone in that market that can dig in see what is going on with the market (comps), and also maybe the rehab was not as good of a job of what the market is yielding at 300K property.

There are a lot of really good people in the Memphis real estate community, and plenty of people will help.  

I'd be interested in any insight on the Sacramento market, esp. from investors in multifamily.
