Some of the East Austin suburbs like Del Valley, Manor have inventory of younger properties in the mid- to upper 100s that will also save you big on taxes.

I've started my initial search for my first property in the Hudson Valley area of New York.I'm 35 and I work & live in NYC.

You might have better luck looking further south.Plymouth, Middleboro, Wareham, Taunton, Fall River, New Bedford are all targets to consider. 

@Codie Wintrode Love Queen Creek and San Tan Valley, they have/are becoming wonderful locations to live!

We recently acquired an 18 unit building in Fall River and we are looking to grow our presence there.

I am from Center Valley, PA originally and if you are investing in the Easton area, I know it fairly well. 

Im from New Bedford but noticed theirs more inventory in Fall River.

It’s very easy in Silicon Valley to fall into this trap because so many people are doing “amazing” things such as traveling the world or buying luxury cars and huge homes.

I am looking for good commercial lenders in the Lehigh Valley area. 

Just make sure you meet all egress code requirements (pretty easy to find them online, and your contractor is likely well versed in the subject; however, let me know if you'd like them PM'd over to you, for reference).I highly recommend you over-dig the opening depth by 6-12" and then back fill the bottom with pea-rock or river rock (while sloping the bottom of the opening away from the house).
