I will be living there with my wife as our personal residence to finally get out of this insane rental market in Silicon Valley.

Rents because of the limited housing and massive amount of silicone valley technology work have driven rent to some of the highest in the world and the nation.

I live in California silicone valley, for now I have to stay here for the next 2 years at least  But for example in Cleveland , this is not easy audience to deal with , if house there cost 90K it means that’s not going to be easy and a lot of things can happen.

Atlanta and Miami vs Silicon Valley.   

John put up a Colman tent in his back yard in the middle of silicon valley and posted it on airbnb for $20 a night.

I looked into Santa Cruz last year as there is a lot to like (college town, weather, beach life, proximity to Silicon Valley) but I couldn't make the numbers work.

Then for extra measure using caulking or silicone to make it weathertight around the seams. 

On the verge of acquiring my first rental property and I am looking partner with real estate investment friendly local banks in CA Silicon Valley - San Jose, Fremont, Milpitas, Mountain View etc areas.

Here in the Silicon Valley, unless you're old money or Mark Zuckerberg, its very difficult without mucho capitol.
