Are you active duty or do you have a job that regularly moves you around?

From an investment perspective i don't see why it would make any difference.

If you live in a high COL area and either can't afford to buy a home or are worried it's a bubble, it might be CR to build equity elsewhere via a rental property that you can afford to buy in a lower COL area. It gets some of your assets appreciating in real estate, better than being totally out of it.

It's likely you'll get a better % return buying properties in up and coming areas like Nashville, Boise, etc. A lot of these places have some historic "cool" area that's a blend of dining/entertainment w/ housing within walking distances. These sorts of homes weren't valued when the traditional buyers in that market opted for suburbia, but if they become target destinations for younger professionals, you'll see these sorts of properties become "hot". I haven't spent any time looking into it, but I wouldn't be shocked if you could find cool properties that would be rentable in a place like Nashville in the 200-300k range that could easily pop another 100k-200k over the next 5yrs; all the while you're collecting rent that covers mortgage and property tax.
