Who here knows what areas are the hottest right now and whatareas have been flops? 

I live in one of the hottest markets in the country (Bay Area).

Good day all,Found this article for those in San Fransisco, and it looks like other Cali places.Seems like its mostly against some of the more unscrupulous landlords, but just for awareness.http://missionlocal.org/2015/05/sfs-hottest-bootca...

It was too hot for me there (hottest place in CA, I swear!)

Seems to be one of hottest investor markets right now.I am looking into turnkey investment companies as well that offer passive investments in Colombus.I realize that would kill a lot of my potential profits, but as a new investor, I am wondering if putting in 15-20K for a safer passive investment as I learn may be a good option.

Heat rises and I would be surprised if the top floor wasn't the warmest during the hottest days of the year.

Even the hottest summer days are not very hot, air conditioning is not a big part of anybody's budget out there.Even if you did save $100/month on electricity, the cooling season is 3 months, so you saved $300/year.

The income tax/sales tax situation is nice, cheap office space in Vancouver is a plus, and Portland is one of the hottest markets in the United States right now.

To each their own and I've seen lots of investment strategies work...some people want to buy newer houses in the hottest neighborhoods and cities.
