Choosing a location to invest

If you had the opportunity to move anywhere in the US to start investing in rental properties, where would you move? My husband and I have the flexibility to move anywhere in the US but we’re not sure where to start. I’ve been looking at the Carolinas and Georgia. We have two kids so we want to be in a safe area with good schools. Currently living in California (too expensive where we live).

@Rachel M. What a fun way to choose a place to live. I am really liking the returns in Chattanooga TN and it's a great town. I think the Midwest has some attractive areas as well, West Michigan ie Grand Rapids is pretty great. In truth there are opportunities everywhere even in CA. I think coastal areas might be good also like Myrtle Beach or the like.
