Also I don't see these areas as being "hot" both sales and rental market wise.Right now I'm putting a deal together for one of my clients in North East LA... 

The North and West sides are hot but I think South Buffalo is next to see action.  

Obviously, families with kids have school and can't travel, but I wonder if the older people head back to AZ and Palm Springs, etc as it's not as hot during the winter months in those areas (just going off of what people told me today about having mostly AZ renters). 

For sales markets get hot and get cold to average.

They even used up all the hot water in a 75 gallon tank (the other unit was on vacation) one weekend.  

It would not cost that much ... not free, but not much compared to purchasing an investment property and allows you to still participate in a hot market.

And i think its safe to say that we joined bigger pockets to get educated and have serious discussions about real estate and if we want to go into the silly acusations against a comunity as a whole we can go back to facebook and twitter for that.The situation in monsey as far as from a rei perspective this is a hot market with year over year apriciation, i can afford to buy in this zip code thats why im looking in the surrounding areas.Perhaps we sbould all have a meetup sometime in the area  so we can all understand the markets 

For instance I know I last looked at this hot thread at page 4 and wow now it is at 7 I could start at 4.Thanks for the work you guys do around here

Market is hot in Louisville, did $1,600,000 gross so far in 2016, years not over either.

I consider 30K making money.. if you do to, than yucca valley will absolutely work for flipsLanders is hot right now for some reason as well.. realtors tell me that 29 palms has amazing deals (But I just don't want to drive there)I would say avoid the bad and very good parts of town... and just focus on bread/butter properties.
