The 4 Most Affordable, HIGH Cash Flow Real Estate Markets of 2023

Episode #130

Looking for a high-cash-flow real estate market? Well, you’ll need low home prices to make that happen. With mortgage rates still at multi-decade highs and affordability at forty-year lows, there isn’t much cash flow to around…unless you’re investing in one of these markets. And while “cheap” rarely means “good,” there are a few housing markets on this list that investors can feel safe parking their money in.

Unless you have a million dollars in the bank or already own a portfolio of beachfront homes in Hawaii, you’re probably looking for the best market to stretch your investing dollars. Thankfully, we’ve got just that as the "On the Market" panel covers the ten most affordable housing markets in the United States. We’ll get into the nitty-gritty of the top four and highlight which we’d invest in and steer clear from.

Some of these markets have huge manufacturing entering the area, prompting massive job growth that could surge home prices. But, with most unaware of this type of economic movement, investors like you can take advantage by getting into these affordable markets before they become boomtowns!

The small cities and towns is where it's at. And ironically the most affordable places are also the best places to live.

I thought you guys were talking to me section8 strategy around Cincinnati area😂. But anyway, a great town around Cincinnati that I've seen more investor in it. Is Middletown, Ohio literally half way between Dayton and Cincinnati with easy access to I 75. I also see a lot of young families, and first time home buyers are priced out of the more expensive areas and moving into Middletown. Which is bringing great values to this town.

People are afraid to talk about Detroit. Houses with tenants in place in decent neighborhoods are fifty grand with three bedrooms renting at a thousand a month. And Detroit is actually growing. Be greedy when everyone else is fearful.

When ever I hear Boomer retirement I can see a serious social humanitarian crisis coming. The studies done on retirement funds are not favorable in the U.S. will put huge pressure on the Boomers living on fixed income I believe with real estate. Aging in place or stuck in place situations are going to be many woes for the Boomers. The situation of a nationwide caregiver shortage never really comes up as a real estate topic but I’m sure it’s coming as new information comes up as more stories are told why people were found dead in the homes.
