If you're considering the Midwest, I'd suggest flying there and getting to know the area really well. if you have friends or family in the Midwest, that would help since they could check out a neighborhood or  homes for you. 

In person its a place I could see maybe doing an investment or two in but its not where I really want to set up shop (I mean that literally; set up a home and also set up a wood shop - so I can build custom cabinets and stuff).If Santa Cruz, CA ever goes on sale then I'll go there and suck it up with CA laws and cost of living, but for the foreseeable future it is not even a remotely viable option; I looked at a fourplex there generating $10k in monthly income and priced at $2,700,000.
