Best markets to invest in in the next 12 months?

Question

Hello, my company has 1.5M in capital to deploy into real estate in the next 12 months. Our goal is to purchase during the downturn, possibly smaller properties that we can buy with cash, then refinance when rates are better and get our money out and do some more. What are the best markets to invest in right now where we can have positive cashflow (doesn't have to be a lot), but also experience appreciation over the next 5 years?

Thank you for any insight!

This just looks like realtors telling people the market they work in is the best one.

Something tells me most of the responses are not answers but pitches to try and have some of your money.

Typically you get one or the other, do get high appreciation typically you will see low to zero cash flow the first 3-5 years. Best markets are those where you have a great team to find and manage properties. You can make money almost anywhere if you have a great team.

I think the emerald coast is the perfect place to build a foundation in your estate portfolio. We have a strong foundation due to the military bases nearby and a strong feeder market that attract people from Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas and Alabama. We get consistent rates and the appreciation has been over 10% in a 5 year span in a normal market. We have great opportunities for long term rentals, short term rentals and buy and hold. Our area is very secure, land locked and desirable for retirement therefore there will always be a demand in our area. Things are being planned and built out accordingly therefore inventory stays relatively low.

Hi Ryan! Birmingham AL is seeing a lot of growth and the city is pushing hard to become a destination. They have committed to building a $300 million mixed use development in the north part of the city and have proposed a $50 million amphitheater. This is in addition to the renovated Legacy Arena and new Protective Stadium! I would love to talk to you about what is available in our area.

Hi Ryan, Cincinnati is a great place to invest. Strong cash flows if you get into the right property. Not much appreciation, but realistically you're going to get one or the other! Let me know if Cincinnati/NKY interests you!

Hi Ryan,

Nice to E-meet you! I wanted to suggest the possibility of looking into distressed property in my area, Southwest Florida. We have been greatly affected by Hurricane Ian and there are a ton of great deals and opportunities out there right now on property that have been damaged. There are many sellers here that are going to take their insurance payout and "run". So their property can be bought up for pennies at this time. Coastal properties, beach front, river front, etc.

if you would like to further discuss with me about these opportunities, please feel free to message me and we can set something up.

I am a real estate agent and investor in the Houston market.

Katy, Cypress, Spring, some parts of Houston, Conroe, Tomball, Pearland are great markets.

These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.

Good Luck!
