Best investing markets in California, Nevada, Texas and Utah

[Nicole Jones]

I know this is a loaded question because these states combined cover a rather large territory but the deal is that I live (and own) in Central California and have been considering investing out of state for the obvious reasons. I want to keep it on the Western side for a few years because my fiancé works in sales and travels through these states on a consistent basis anyway. What are the markets/areas/cities worth looking into to narrow my search?

My favorite right now is Philly! Birmingham is really picking up too, Houston is still decent, Indy is okay, and some others. But it all depends on what you are looking for! Every market is different.
