OT: The 15 cities where you get the most bang for your real estate buck

[It's a slide-show so I'll copy/paste the info here]:

Orlando, Florida
Looking to invest in real estate? Consider heading to Orlando, which tops Forbes’ list of best U.S. housing markets for 2018. The average home value is expected to grow a whopping 35 percent within the next three years. Talk about a bang for your buck!

Sacramento, California
According to real estate website Trulia, median home prices in Sacramento have surged 9 percent over the past year. If you're planning to invest in a sunny California abode, though, purchase sooner rather than later—the price per square foot will only rise from here!

Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina
Raleigh-Durham wins across the board, reporting steady increases in population, jobs, and home prices (the three-year growth forecast rings in at an impressive 26 percent). The Southern city is ideal for families with college-aged children, because 11 traditional universities—including North Carolina State University and Meredith College—are located here.

Ogden-Clearfield, Utah
After ranking on the CBS News list of top 10 hottest real estate markets for 2017, Ogden remains strong in 2018. Residents enjoy easy access to the Wasatch Mountains, which offer plenty of outdoor activities and natural beauty.

Fort Worth, Texas
Rising property prices signal a seller’s market in Fort Worth, so those purchasing homes will have a healthy investment on their hands. Given the stiff competition, though, be prepared to prove that you're a rock-solid buyer and expect to make several offers.

Grand Rapids, Michigan
Back in 2014, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development commented on the strong economic growth in this Michigan city. Fortunately, the trend has continued, indicating that homes in Grand Rapids are a solid investment for potential buyers.

Boston, Massachusetts
If you want to live surrounded by culture and history, start house-hunting in Boston; Trulia says the median home sale price is steadily rising. Residents of Boston enjoy many other perks as well, including delicious cuisine, excellent health care, and booming business.

Minneapolis, Minnesota
According to the Star Tribune, hordes of people are seeking housing in affordable areas of the Twin Cities, catapulting prices beyond the reach of many first-time home buyers. Nevertheless, you can still find budget-friendly gems in coveted neighborhoods like Richfield.

Columbus, Ohio
As the hometown of The Ohio State University, Columbus has been enjoying a super-strong job market since 2010, which has contributed to the city's booming real estate trend. Potential buyers should know, however, that there's a shortage of available houses in Columbus, so you'll likely need to pay more than the asking price for a property.
