For reference I live in and want to invest in the Hudson Valley NY.

And if there is anyone near the Sun Valley area that wants to meet up, I would love to once I get out there. 

Oracle is relocating it's headquarters to Austin (arguably the next Silicon Valley).

What you see in the basin of that picture is Wears Valley.  

In my market (San Fernando Valley/Los Angeles), I can't wrap my head around this.

So new that address is still not quite on the map but all multi-family homes are selling fast in this area for the people moving into Rio Grande Valley.

I was born in San Diego and raised up north in the Central Valley about 300 miles north.

I hear the regulatory environment for STRs in the Hudson Valley is up-in-the-air right now, but for the moment they appear to be legal. 

You make some awesome points, but I'd love to see some numbers in LA (South Bay to the Valley to Downtown) where you are negative only $100 on a rental.
