Apple, Google, Xerox, Fuji film, and Meta are all coming into the area. 5k people a month move to the area which has created a housing shortage, rent spikes, major appreciation (not just due to inflation) and you can still find single family homes for sale on the MLS in good condition for ~250k+ Tenant-landlord laws are landlord-friendly and taxes are low.

I see Victorville, Hesperia, and Apple Valley as great investment locations with affordable prices and competitive rents.

If you have a droid phone or tablet, they are available on an app called Stitcher (I don't know about Apple products).

You want to always be comparing apples to apples.

I can buy 10 acres with a house with about 28000 sq feet on a lake with a pole barn for around 200k.

@Jay Hinrichs if the barn is old and has decent wood you might get a barn deconstructer take it down to salvage the wood. 

Lower expenses by canceling reoccurring expenses (gym, Xbox live, Netflix, Apple Music and so on) eat at home things like that the little things add up I recommend budgeting and tracking to see where you can make those cuts.

Maybe being it’s just my phone for being an Apple user but at times it logs me out of the app automatically when I’m trying to scroll through, the functionality at times seems a bit weird in the app but overall I’m happy I’ve downloaded the app and started listening to the podcasts.

@Bruce LynnHi Bruce, if you have friends at Facebook, Amazon, Google, PayPal, Apple and other tech firms, it might help to check in and they will tell you how each of them are lapping up office space in NYC in an unprecedented fashion.

Episode 10 of the Young Slumlord Podcast it’s on apple, Spotify, google, YouTube etc.
