I’d recommend leaning toward median-priced homes in markets like Memphis, Little Rock, OK, or TX—these areas typically fall in the $200K–$300K range and strike a solid balance between cash flow and long-term appreciation.You’ll want to avoid the ultra-cheap stuff because it often means weaker neighborhoods, more maintenance issues, and higher resident turnover.

Other then that, you'd have to strike out on own.

Right now, I’m in the research and planning phase—looking to strike the right balance between cash flow and long-term appreciation.
