I grew up in Angleton which is about 45 minutes south of Houston so markets i am looking at are southern areas around Houston to be close to family(being away for 6 years for military we are desperate to be close to family again)

You could of shot for a bigger cash flow but aslong as the property is located in a area that would be consider a good street you got a good selling point for up and coming home owners who may have grew up in that neighborhood and know that the street is good.

The tide rose all boats but their's were positioned so far ahead of everyone else's that they grew exponentially as times got better.

Now, it's a relatively small town where I grew up, not South Dallas (Oak Cliff) hood.

Scranton is close to where I grew up and I still have a lot of family in the area including an Aunt who is a real estate agent, and an Uncle who is a fully licensed contractor.Also financing- I plan on getting traditional mortgage with 20% down payment. 

My interest grew high when I started attending REI meetings, however I couldn't go anymore as my their meetings and my schedule with my business/school didn't line up properly.I went to school for something totally on the different end of business/real estate.Some have told me to get involved by becoming a RE agent, however that's not quite what I'm really interested in.I'm located in NYC, so I consider myself in a good spot already.
