Is (name any city) a good place to invest?

I currently work in New York City doing investment banking.

I have investor friends who are seeing great success with long-term rentals in Oklahoma City (OKC) and vacation rentals around Broken Bow.One tip, create this same post but with Oklahoma City in the location so investors in the area will look and respond to it.

Quote from @Yoni Meth: Hey All,I’m currently investing in Columbus, OH, and generally happy with the market, but I’m looking to expand into another area where single-family home prices are more in the $100–$150K range.My criteria:Strong cash-flow potential (ideally close to the 1% rule).Reasonable appreciation upside.Population growth and a diverse job market.Normal/Reasonable property tax rates (nothing extremely high that kills cash flow)Neighborhoods with acceptable crime levels, preferably C and above, avoiding high-risk “D” areasIf anyone has experience in markets that fit this profile, or recommendations for cities/markets worth exploring, I’d appreciate your insights.Thanks!

As the title states I'm closer to the Springfield mo area than Kansas City but the location selection doesn't give that option.

After much speculation for the past few months, I attended a meeting with County Executive McMahon regarding the $100 Billion Micron Semiconductor Plant Project coming to Central New York in Clay.

Austin came in behind the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, New York City, Washington D.C. and Toronto and ahead of Boston.Austin's ranking was unchanged from 2022.Among the highlights of the new report:- Austin ranks No. 3 for the highest concentration of software engineers, trailing only the Bay Area and Seattle.- Austin also ranks No. 3 for the highest concentration of tech talent within the core tech industry, topped only by the Bay Area and Seattle.- Local tech workers earn an average salary of $104,000, up 18% from five years ago.

@Yair PlaceholderWe do quite a bit of BRRRR financing for our clients in Kansas City. 

No need to get excited over it.Yes if you are in a host city absolutely take advantage of it then move on.

MIE Solutions, a company that makes software for the manufacturing industry, ranked Austin 10th in its analysis of 50 cities based on the cost of electricity, cost of manufacturing space, hourly wages and tax rates.Texas was well represented among the top cities in the ranking, taking four of the top 10 spots.
