Hey @Jay Hinrichs, I just had one of those "4 hour" sunset offers come by my desk last week from Silicon Valley no less. 

So many to mention: Silicone Valley area, LA area, Phoenix, most of Florida, Denver and so many more- What did other investors learn from the 2008 crash?

If it's finally settled and on grade with the rest of the patio, get a good bonding silicone and a can of exterior concrete paint.

Add Silicon Hills and now a new push in medical research and we have a very stable, diversified, and growing job sector with 35,000 new jobs a year. 

Or you could caulk them with silicone caulk.

We have the ocean, mountains - you can swim and ski in the same day, all type of food and culture, MTV, Yahoo, Tesla, Space X, Ratheon, Amazon, SnapCat, Yahoo, Google - too many tech companies to list, Silicone Valley, Silicone Beach, two pro football teams, Olympics coming within a decade, hikes and amazing scenery, Hollywood, USC, UCLA, and amazing weather, LA San Diego, Santa Barbara, SF Bay.

Oh yeah we r silicon valley 2.0 soon.

I'm in Silicon Valley and can safely say stick with "local" to where you're investing, so TX!

I've read where some Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and venture capitalists with aging parents are looking at this emerging market for business opportunities where technology might make a difference.For those retirees who want to live unassisted in a smaller place (less costly to buy and maintain) might want to consider a tiny home in a location with a low cost of living.

This is Silicon Valley.
