I'm interested in getting opinions for the best markets for multi-family markets, specifically for cash-flow and long-term hold. In terms of size, specifically the smaller multifamilies 4-10 units.

I heard a lot about Kansas City and TX.

A group of Hedge Fund investors I'm currently working close to is funding mostly in the Dallas, Atlanta, San Francisco and Memphis areas. This should be a sign for those markets. Hope that helps!

Unless a project is large enough to support professional management, I suggest you stick to an area of up to 50 miles from your base.
If it cannot support professional management, buying out of your area all too often is a (financial) accident waiting to happen.

As your experience grows and you refine your investment goals, let the demographics and economic numbers of the day guide you on markets. What is "bad" today, may be the "hot" market of tomorrow.

Hope that helps a bit.

Cyrus,

the Urban Land Institute and Price Waterhouse coopers has compiled an extensive study on real estate markets for the past 30 years. each year they release a very detailed report that is the answers from a survey of thousands of developers, investors, lenders, and institutional real estate firms about markets across the country and beyond.

In it you'll find a ranking of the country's top markets for each commercial property type, as well as a survey of what the big developers are doing in those areas, like buying, selling, holding, etc.

Look it up on uli's website. uli.org. You're looking for the emerging trends in real estate. it's released yearly.

Korpacz also releases a yearly report with this info, but it is pretty expensive.

good luck.
