I'm a wholesaler in Dayton, Oh but I grew up in Oak Park, IL just west of Chicago.  

Dallas, Oak Cliff, Cedar Crest, Balch Springs, Mesquite)?

However, I also think there is potential for buy-and-hold investors to purchase lots of inventory at dirt cheap prices in nearby cities like Fayetteville, Oak Hill, and Beckley.

Royal Oak, West bloomfield, Detroit Neighborhoods East English Villiage, University district, Boston Edision and few others... 

Plant 4-5 native oaks spread out.  

Good luck, I like Red Oak in living areas, Maple in higher class homes, and carpet in the bedrooms.

Packaging waste other than cardboard is also a tough waste stream to manage.Post 58 - railing stainthe painters are back to stain the oak railings in the second house.

Just saw this near my office at Oak/Franklin, it's a bit crushing and makes me dig my heels in deeper to my rent controlled apartment... while continuing to invest in places like Texas, Florida, Ohio, and Wisconsin.There is certainly money to be made in the Bay Area real estate market but these are high stakes and cashflow is inconceivable at this point. 

Don't hold your breath, I've seen legal descriptions using landmarks; to the center of a large oak tree, to the edge of the rock outcropping, to the double fence post back to the beginning (leaving out distances in links and chains).

I traded a rental in live oak two years ago and have not looked back.
