We have a good friend from Arizona who is looking to do more rock climbing in the Sierras and wants to move up this way.

Those really need to be donated or sold on Craigslist (Detroit Avenue comes to mind).I have had a bunch of investors come to me post-Sierra Realty (search the forums if you're unaware)...these properties are never what we expect them to be and the owners genuinely need help to avoid walking away from Toledo.

Fresno has the Sierras going for it - Yosemite, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, etc.  

@John Hickey Thank you, those were from majestic kitchens/bathrooms over in white plains.

For example, a little 2 bedroom, one bath cabin came up for sale in a desirable area of the Sierra Nevada of California last Thursday.

Purchase price: $800,000 Cash invested: $240,000 Sale price: $1,499,500 Contributors: Vlad Tselnik, Victoria Loder View this stunningly re-imagined home in Wallingford with majestic Seattle views!

Was it Sierra Lakes?

Secondary markets include Tucson, Yuma, Flagstaff, Sierra Vista, etc.

Sierra,As Joel says, different animal but still an animal (e.g. not vegetable ;).

What I drive everyday is a 96 GMC Sierra K3500 crewcab with an 8' bed, which I paid cash for.
