Look to Texas, and in particular the Dallas/Ft.

The towns between Dallas and Fort Worth are one area to look - Arlington, Hurst, etc.

We bought 2 more in the same area, while we were stationed in England, and we bought 2 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area also while stationed overseas.  

unless you had big unemployemnet like in 08 to 2010.. and you have folks who have bought homes in the last decade that actually qualified and are locked in at historic rates.. just because their market stops appreciated or retracts a little .. those folks don't sell they just ride it out.there is and will always be the US citizen that can't manage debt no matter the market.. gets divorced .. has bad health issues... dies intestate... so there are always deals.Each market cycle I have personally lived and invested through was unique  no two the same.And now with Foreigners grabbing a huge share of our investment properties for cash and hedge funds doing the same.. why would those folks cut and run especially the cash buyers.coming into 09 40% or more of all sales were for CASH... so cash buyers don't panic sell generally speaking.I do see certain markets leveling off the appreciation run up.. we are seeing that big time in Dallas right now the herd mentality of that market has cooled down a bunch.and here in Portlandia higher end is just holding to little move up.. but middle price range still moving up. 

The other three primary MSAs along the Texas Triangle (Dallas/FW, San Antonio, Austin) have been hot all this time.

I'm in the midst of getting offered a teaching job for next year and once I have an offer I'll be looking in that market (SA, Dallas or Houston) for a MFH to house hack... but it's been difficult to find a MFH that's move in ready and will pass VA so imortgage may definitely be something I need to look at.

I am now looking into getting financing and buying some rental properties in Dallas or Austin Texas and Edmonton multi families. 

But have you considered other markets, such as Dallas?
