Only way would be to be buying homes in the mid west that were 125 to 200k each then you will get the same demographic and quality of renter in Livermore for your 400 to 700k rental homes.PS  I grew up in Cupertino before 680 was built we took Niles canyon to reach Livermore and the 2 lane road went all the way to walnut creek LOL

There's more of a nightlife than Provo... but you're still in (now 5% abv) UT.

@Ashley Petersen find yourself a deal on a house in Cottonwood Heights at the base of big cottonwood canyon. 

@Jordin Boyd I would recommend both First Alliance Title and Canyon Title for investors based on personal experience.

A big accomplishment has been to hike across the Grand Canyon and back again in a day. 

Only Canyon title as far as I'm aware, and they require disclosure to all parties all of the financial info in the transaction.

The ski basin, Grand Canyon, and of course, 100,000 cars per day coming through on Interstate 40.  

Those are the lodge properties close to the lake in the Branson Cove, Branson Canyon, Chateau Cove, Chateau Mountain and some others.

Here is one of mine in canyon lake where the land value 10x'd in a year lol. 

There is also the Canyon Lake area.
