Silicon Valley is still growing and some of that money is trickling into Monterey County. 

Most of the flip money even in NYC or pricy Silicon Valley is already made.

This would be our second STR in the valley.

I'll very much be considering investing in the Lehigh Valley market in the upcoming months, if the numbers work for my budget.  

Hi @Elizabeth Seiferth,I STR a room in my house and am purchasing an STR in Orlando to start expanding (I live in Happy Valley, Oregon).I love the way you guys are thinking.

I'm in Orange County, NY- in the Hudson Valley/ Central Valley region.Thank you in advance,Raeven 

Great to see someone from Solano CountyI am a Realtor in Napa Valley, who currently lives in Vallejo.

I tend to over analyze but, now I'm ready to make it happen as there’s no better education than experience with trial and error.The market in NYC is pretty high to say the least so I've been studying markets outside the area within a 2 hour drive such as:Essex County, NJ(Newark, East Orange, Irvington)Lehigh Valley, PA(Allentown, Easton, Bethlehem)Connecticut( still learning markets)Now here's the dilemma I'm currently facing which would also define with what market I should pursue.

Most of my investments are buy and hold in the salt lake valley.

Landscaping can be minimal but should be completed.Queen Creek/San Tan Valley also do very well with slightly higher returns for most properties.
