Which state should I invest in?
So I'm starting out and looking to go across state lines for rentals and/or flips in just over 11 months. I'm learning all I can and trying to narrow down to a few cities for different reasons. I have a list of states I'd like to narrow down first. Generally speaking, I'd like to have my buy and hold in places where the weather is kinder to properties (less snow/freezing and fewer hurricanes, I'll take my chances with tornados and floods).
Which three would you buy and hold in, which three would you flip in, and why?
OR
Which three would you NEVER buy and hold in, and which three would you NEVER flip in and why?
Which states are just gaining traction and have recently rebounding economies? Which ones are fairly stable and look like they will be for a long time?
States in rough order of personal preference, TX is definitely #1.
Thanks!
PS I live in the San Franciso Bay Area. If I'm not doing this locally, I'm not doing this in-state.
