I'm currently considering Syracuse (around university area) but open to anywhere in the US to provide stable cashflow ($300+) monthly.

The economy is not stable at all and inflation is close to 40%.

I greatly appreciate it.Your response does help, I think my question becomes then, would you still proceed with a deal if it's likely you may only get stable cash flow?

Either way, you need to make sure you've done the homework necessary to know where you can get solid returns, stable tenant base, etc. 

I won't be investing in the riskiest/most supportable asset subclasses such as hotels, and tilt my portfolio the ones that have historically been more stable such as multifamily and single-family housing.

An example was an article saying that multi-family is poised to be stable the next few years. 

The ability to have somewhere stable to reside and to pay next to nothing toward a mortgage due to having tenants, is a great first step.

For example, if I found an area that was on the fringes of being gentrified, or near a large employer with swings, I could get more specific.Here's an example of the thought process:I went to Google and looked for a major stable employer swing.

No one wants to waste time running numbers and providing docs for a property that is still on the shelf.

Are they stable?
