Best Places in America for Your Real Estate Investment

Invest in what you know, that is something I believe in and practice as an investor.  I know parts of metro Detroit, and that is where I look for prospects when I want to invest in real estate.  I don't pull up listings for Dayton, Ohio, even though it would be an excuse to visit my brother in law, Jim.

So I'm not sure how many of our readers (and you are appreciated) would consider investing in real estate outside of the immediate area where they live.  But if you do, or if you are wondering where we rank, these things are ranked.  Bigger Pockets has the background, etc.

But if you just want to see the rankings (Detroit is Medium Risk):


Low Risk
Score range: 6 to 10
Medium Risk
Score range: 3 to 5
