Rental Markets Good/Bad

[Joshua Goston]

I'm looking for two current examples of good buy-and-hold rental markets, and two current examples of bad buy-and-hold rental markets. I want to compare and contrast them all with one another so I can develop a system for researching markets when the time comes to make my first purchase. Thank you to anyone who replies!

@Joshua Goston - "good" and "bad" are all in the eyes of the investor. 

In terms of toughest to cash flow assuming conventional lending (which is what I think you mean), I would say that my top 2 cities would be Cleveland and Indianapolis. My bottom two would be San Francisco and New York City. 

Hope this gives you some sort of foundation in which you can conduct your research on.
