Looking for a good return on a real-estate investment? Try Dallas. For the second year in a row, the bustling Texas metro topped the list of real-estate markets. According to the 2016 BiggerPockets Real Estate Investment Market Index, Dallas investors stood to earn 20.7 percent unleveraged returns over the past year compared to 19.5 percent the prior year. Close behind was Portland, Ore., driven largely by a 14.6 percent year-over-year appreciation in home values over the period. Indianapolis ranked as the worst market for investors.
