I own one rental in Texas and it performs okay because we bought it in 2013 but right now it's hard to find something that makes sense there.Typically, the mid west such as Indiana, Kansas and Kentucky all provide good opportunities from a cash flow perspective.

@Adekunle llori , thanks for your reply ,i m thinking of investing in Middle west through turnkey company, what do yo think?

There are pockets and certain streets in the Moncrief area, west and north side that I can walk down the street no problem, but then two streets over I won't.

Hey @Taylor Hoch if you are looking into the Atlanta market I would suggest either the west side or south side.

CA saw that Oregon has seen that .. then a run up later.the big dips on the west were CA  89 to 92   little dip Y2K 911  and the mother of them all the GFC.. which was nation wide.. 

.- From 9th st south to 1st from Minnesota ave west is the rougher part of town.- If you can find a house around $120k within 3 blocks of BSU you will be golden.I use vision properties for management.We do have some new apt buildings built that are hurting some vacancy rates, but college rentals are doing great.I use Riverwood bank. 

I’m here on the West side of Houston. 

I am pre-approved for 750K, looking in west coast of Florida St Pete,Tampa,Bradenton,Sarasota.

also if its just 10k a month you need.. and you dig real estate get a license sell real estate  flip houses that kind of thing.. 120k a year in a west coast market is very easy to do.. and if your only making that amount your not killing your self your having fun.. looking properties talking to investors talking to lenders home owners etc etc.If its simply rental income then @Andrew Hogan  is correct you need to  get from 100k in cash to 1.2 to 1.7 so how are you going to do that ?? 

It would include 40 one-bedroom and 60 two-bedroom units of affordable housing for residents of the Beecher Terrace complex being razed in the Russell neighborhood west of downtown, according to a resolution background statement reviewed by the Louisville Metro Housing Authority in May.What are your thoughts?
