Looking to buy a property in the 76014 Arlington TX zip code. 185Kish. 3BR 2BR. Is this area a bad play for long term buy and hold for appreciation?

I don't have a crystal ball, but if you want some backward looking data I can help. I bought a property in 76013 exactly 3 years ago for $140,000. It's probably worth about $160k today. About 14% in 3 years (~4.7% a year). My advice: make sure it cash flows.
