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

I have lived in Napa Valley, Washington DC and grew up in Westchester, NY. 

The current projection for the Treasure Valley is a continued and steady growth rate for the next 10-20 years. 

Our market in Alaska, especially the Municipality of Anchorage, which includes the big city, Eagle River, Chugiak, Peters Creek and etc. and the Mat-Su Valley with Palmer, Wasilla, Big Lake and other smaller areas are "hot" now too.

. :)now take prime areas of the country and some of it is just being in the right place at the right time.But if you take say Silicon valley for instance were I grew up.. a home bought in 1970 for 25k is now worth 2 million.. or maybe more... you lived there 30 years you paid off your mortgage and you have enough money to live on the rest of your life if you sell and buy in a retirement type setting.same 25k investing in a rental house at the time would maybe have made you lets say at 300 a month positive cash flow over the same 40 years..  150,000.....

If you are willing to move from the beach to the central valley where it gets 105 degrees in the summer, go for it!  

Silicon Valley for a 2/1 apartment approximately 750 sq ft $1950-23002/2 apartment approximately 850 sq ft $2400-$3500 depending on the area and how renovated it is. 

The SW and NW side of town close to Grand Valley State University is targeted by investors right now due to students looking for top quality properties to live in.
