Lastly, Indianapolis is setting themselves up to be the next Silicon Valley, so I am told.  

Highly populated with high-paying jobs will have that problem of not having cash flow, same in silicon valley, Manhatten, LA, etc.If you have enough money to buy $1.1M house, then don't count out the possibility of investing in the USA!

Here in Silicon Valley one still has to fight to get a home paying 11-13% over asked price.

The builders need to start building again .The SPEC builders were rolled up and sent packing .We all see the news SF have sky high prices but with silicon valley still cranking our high paying tech jobs that will keep prices firm .I watch the financial news all the time ,I play metals small play , I am making money again ye haw!

It would cost 150-400 for the material and take a couple hours to install.The laminate would never last long enough though even if you sealed every crack with silicone and followed the directions with putting on end caps, chips, burns and cutting marks would still show up. 

Well, in term of numbers, Silicon Valley seems to be on another planet, but the general principles are good.If you can make it to our free meet-up in Oakland on 3/20, that's be a great opportunity for you to network with other investors.I will definitely be there, what time are you planning to leave San Jose?

I again was trying to help in offering my opinion that she needed to think/budget for a new roof, and sent her down pictures of how someone had used the wrong product to silicon/caulk her roof shingles...  

I think that once we go back to (a new form of) "normal", Silicon Valley tech companies (Google, Yahoo, Youtube, Facebook etc) will realize employees working remotely can be as productive as having them physically present on site.

Unlike many of the Silicon Valley behemoths leasing space in Central Texas, Apple owns significant real estate in Austin.

We sell homes very close to Silicon Valley only 30 minutes away in Hollister CA.
