Look into Cleveland, its got good cashflow potential with appreciation happening as well.Looking for appreciation come to Columbus, there are still 1% deals, but the more attractive part is the population growth and other economic drivers!

Because of the affordability, great neighborhoods and schools, and good night life, Columbus has attracted a-lot of businesses to setup shop, hence the increase in population over areas like Cincinnati and Cleveland. 

Population growth for the past five years. 

Population growth was a big factor.

Austin is a top 10 city in population, top 3 city in places to live, #1 in growth and stability, and yet 26th in median price. 

I believe I will be moving within the next 12-18 months to a more populous area somewhere on the east coast.  

I had also heard that last year the population of the USA actual declined!

Hilo (which on the east side of the big island) seems to be a great market for long term apprection and cash flow as the median home price is almost $300,000 with a population of 45,000 and growing.

Florida is a magnet for the elderly and the population is only getting older.Wrap-Up: The rabbit hole of options when it comes to real estate investments and financing them has tormented my mind for the past few weeks, but I am enjoying every second of it.

I know the city in general has a poorer, more troubled demographic, so the general renter population will be worse.
