@Anton Tikhomirov Congratulations on taking the first steps! Being prepared is honestly all you need to succeed in REI. Out here in KC, we have numerous deals that cashflow, and look at long term appreciation. We even get deals that just need cosmetic updates, meet the 1% rule, and are in a decent neighborhood looking at appreciation. We have several developments that will bring thousands of jobs, upgrades to our airport, new stadium, new resort on the way, and so many other things growing our city every day. You said you looked at the Midwest, have you looked at Kansas City?
Oh ya! We have low rent areas, but we also have places where rents are 3k+. I'd say average rent is around $1300-$1500 in middle class neighborhoods. I have a property right now, and the rental rates for similar properties in the area is $2200

What areas of KC do you like for 4 plexes? How about for larger ie 8-20 units? I have been interested in KC for a while.
Anywhere the numbers make sense! 8-20 is harder to find but definitely doable! KC is an amazing spot to buy and hold right now

Bring that money to KC! We have loads of options for both multi and single family homes. You can get deals that really don't need that much work, have good cashflow, and long term appreciation.

@Josh Matteson I'm an agent here in KC, on the investing side of things. We like to think of ourselves as "tip of the spear" since being in investing allows us to see changes first. If you're able to hold onto it, you should highly consider that. I would never tell you what to do, however Johnson County is never NOT in high demand. The prices are ALWAYS going up over there, and as time goes on, deals there are getting harder and harder to locate. With JoCo being one of Zillow's most searched areas, KC on track to be one of America's best markets this year, the growth the city is looking at, and the fact that JoCo is debatably the best suburb in KC, with some of the best schools, holding onto a property there just makes sense.
Hope this helps!

@Leo R. Good questions! In KC you can hit the 1% rule in both C and B neighborhoods. In most A neighborhoods people aren't renting, but there is some potential there as well. So that's one of the cool things about KC, not only can you hit cashflow today, but you can have nice appreciation tomorrow.
