This is why I invest in Oklahoma City, Indianapolis, Jackson MS, and Kansas City.

Great life story and I am sad to hear that you are battling MS.

Life changes when you take determination and action, in a smart way...I did'n get my BS or MS by reading silly books, but by reading textbooks and applying my knowledge from the professors, and yes, other books books.  

My wife and I have lived in Alabama and Mississippi, I have also lived in Michigan, Florida, and Massachusetts and have always wanted to get in to rental properties.

Let me know if you need help.Do you do asset based loans in Mississippi as well as Texas? 

My advice is who you will be renting too. college kids big money from parents. your average Mr and Ms Joe who have a professional job with no kids etc. what amenities will you be putting in washer dryer dish washer etc.

I know when i was in Jackson Mississippi I advertised over in Texas and imported Hispanic GC/ labor and housed them the local labor pool was unbelievably poor.  

Here is what I foundMSA Level StudyBased on my study, the top ten cash-flow markets based on unlevered CoCR , tabulated by MSA, are the following: Muncie, IN Metro AreaJacksonville, NC Metro AreaLumberton, NC Micro AreaTerre Haute, IN Metro AreaBeckley, WV Metro AreaMeridian, MS Micro AreaSumter, SC Metro AreaFayetteville, NC Metro AreaCharleston, WV Metro AreaYuma, AZ Metro AreaAs you stated in your earlier post, in your study, the Detroit MSA and Cleveland MSA do not even make it into the top 50%.I have found this to be true as well, Detroit come in at 171/333 and Cleveland 234/333 for CoCR.Another point of interest for me was your assertion that rent to price ratios don't correlate well with cash flow.

You seriously have to wonder how people make it through life...I had a person text me (when my ad said to call) and their "signature" at the bottom of the text was Ms. yoyo da baddest.  

It felt like I was defending my MS degree thesis and scrutinized by four of my mentors/professors and the chairman to comment on this...
