In my home town of Sacramento, it was Sacramento county towns that incorporated during the housing boom of the 00's.

As far as real estate investing goes, competition in the residential real estate space is fierce right now and returns are minimal due to the housing boom and very few good deals to be found.

BOOM, mic-drop, lol. 

@Scott Trench and @Mindy Jensen....do either of you two have any insight as to what amount legalized marijuana has played in the population boom in Denver?

However, looking at Pueblo, its a good size city, great internet (for people like me), low cost of living, they are expanding the Riverwalk the next 15 years, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a boom there.  

It's not like these cities are booming with population growth, but there's such a lack of inventory right now that as long as you price your rental at an accurate rate, you'll get tons of inquires.  

The north Aurora market was the first hit in the foreclosure boom (2006) yet it was adding 45k new high paying medical jobs in zip codes with a median income of 45k. 

One article says residential is booming another says it isn't.  

Neighborhoods in West, North, and South Philly are also booming in the rental/flip market right now.If you need help finding deals and analyzing numbers out in these areas, message me and I can tell you as much as I know!
