We purchased an ocean front 4 bed 4 bath condo on the Space Coast of Florida 4 years ago for $620,000. 

With only 100k to deploy the Midwest will offer cash purchases and more monthly cash flow and usually less dollar appreciation, long distance travel, and extra time to manage.

However, we are worried about losing our "investment" and such a low interest rate.We purchased a Trendmaker home west of Houston in Katy, in 2020 with 10% down at 3.3% interest for $319,000.  

Like Peter question or Dave question, if you want to find potential 2 standard deviation purchase, buy single family that's double than the DOM of the market and make a visit. 

This means that you may not have enough purchasing power to take down a 1-4 unit property VA.

If using high LTV loan and legit underwriting, the purchase will have negative initial cash flow.

I’ve personally got one single family house that I initially paid cash to purchase and in that form it cash flowed about $900/month after saving for the taxes and expenses.
