If you want something more affordable but still solid areas I would consider - Upper NE Philly, Roxborough/manayunk, and West and part of East mount airy. 

That said, Kensington (north of Lehigh) is another world that I dont touch even though I have a property just south of lehigh in east Kensington (still some zombies) but has stayed rented with great tenants and no vacancy for 5 years.  

>East Bay rents dipped slightly but are expected to rise 3%-4% as vacancy decreases.

I'm actually keeping an eye on some spots east of the gigafactory; there's a lot of buzz about potential there.Would love to swap insights and maybe grab a coffee (even if virtual) to chat more about how we can navigate and capitalize on these changes.

There is actually one 5/3 in Arvada near olde town right now that could work, and several in Longmont on the East side of town. 

I am looking to connect with wholesalers who have properties and work in the East Texas Area.

We had our ash tree population decimated by the emerald ash borer beetle, which is an invasive species from China, but they are pretty hardy and survive -20F pretty well Pine beetle is working its way East from the west. 

@Shane O'Neill Boulder and East Knoxville.

It’s on top of a mountain and has world class views of the mountains/foothills to the east, south, and north.

I personally work with a ton of east and west coast investors, they love to buy here because of the huge growth in the last 3-5 years, with major companies like Intel, Amazon, and Google investing heavily.Turnkey properties are popular in Old North, Merion Village, Southern Orchards, Old Towne East, Driving Park, North Linden, North Hilltop, Franklinton, Reynoldsburg, and Hungarian Village.For BRRRR and Fix & Flip, consider Eastmoor, Hilltop, Whitehall, and Linden.
