They are old school and definitely not technology savvy, but their paperwork seemed thorough and organized.Maybe it should have been a warning signal when they handed over a wad of unmarked keys.

I think its great that in a more technologically forward region like Oakland is already starting to be digital.

But with my dinky 5 VRs (which gross over 200k per year thanks to my iPhone and Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge) I’m happy using AirBnB and VRBO and I even have past guests book through the sites.

They do have a diverse economy in terms of technology, O&G, hospitals, and universities.

(As what happens frequently thanks to the rapid changes in technology) bottom line the industry was no longer fulfilling me and I had no desire to rekindle that flame.

Pittsburgh certainly is a city on the rise due in part to the technology boom in our area, a strong established healthcare system, A Mayor and our County Executive who are very proactive on their initiatives that are attracting big businesses, a strong recovering economy and the continuation of new construction. 

They have worked for me in the past with technology as I worked in the Silicon Valley my whole career before Real Estate.

It's a great market (Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville).  

I was curious if any folks who flip houses in the north have considered incorporating solar panels and / or heat pump technologies such as geothermal or air-source in their rehabs. 

The technology has really come a long way.
