What is the HOTTEST REAL ESTATE MARKET in America? A “top 20 hottest markets in America” list was just released by a big real estate organization… but I’ll tell you why their #1 market isn’t even close… and what part of the country absolutely is LIGHTING IT UP where real estate appreciation is concerned… and how YOU can profit from it, no matter where you live! I’m Bryan Ellis. This is episode 156.

Hello SDI Nation! Welcome to the podcast of record for savvy, self-directed investors like you!

Ok, people, I get it! You missed me! Hehehehe. Thank you for all of the nice emails so many of you have sent me in the last few days as I had to step back and focus on our real estate business a bit. There are some crazy exciting things happening and it’s been so much fun to watch. Carole and I have about 13 real estate transactions in progress right now and 3 of them are closing in the coming week alone. So things are just crazy right now… crazy wonderful!

So… you want to know about the hottest market in America?

Well, the infamous National Association of Realtors – the organization famous for saying “it’s a great time to buy” no matter what’s going on the economy – releases a “hottest markets” list from time to time.

And I’ll tell you… as a matter of trivia, it is pretty interesting. If you’d like to get a copy of that HOT MARKETS list, I’ll be happy to send it to you… just text the word HOTLIST with no spaces to 33444 and I’ll send it to you.

So here’s the thing: The top HOT MARKET in America for October 2015 was, according to Realtor.com, Denver, Colorado.

Denver, in case you’ve never visited, is a beautiful city. Really nice place. I can totally see why people would want to live there, and why it’s an in-demand market. I’ve got nothing bad to say about that city at all.

But there is something worth noting:

Denver is #1 on the Realtor.com list, sure. And well deserved, I’m sure. But here’s the thing:

Of the top 20 hottest markets in America, 12 of them – 60% - are in the state of California.

Now that alone is pretty amazing. But let’s face it: California is bigger than most countries in the world, so it’s not statistically improbable that there’d be a high concentration of hot markets there. But let’s take it one step further to see where the REAL hottest market in America is.

As I said, 12 of the 20 hottest markets are in California. But of those 12, 9 of them are concentrated in a small area of Northern California. All 9 of those markets are within about 100 miles of each other.

So what you have is 9 blazing hot markets supporting each other… natural spillover causing great market strength in the broader area.

It’s all arguably a function of the astounding success of the tech sector and the venture capital business in and around Silicon Valley and San Francisco. But that strength – ASTOUNDING strength, to be sure – is spreading the wealth in the markets of Northern California.

One of those markets is Stockton, CA. Yes, THAT Stockton… the one that’s famous for crime problems and also for having gone bankrupt back in 2013. Stockton is absolutely ON FIRE… and the investors who are making bank there just don’t seem to care about those things.

How hot is it? Well, just a couple of days ago, I got a market analysis report from Zillow about Stockton. Bottom line? Zillow has observed that Stockton has appreciated by 12% in the past year, and they’re predicting appreciation of 19% in the coming year.

That, my friends, is CRAZY awesome. Imagine what it would mean for your portfolio if all of your properties appreciated by 19% in the coming year? You’d be doing a happy dance, for sure!

I wanted to zero in on Stockton because it’s unique among many of the super hot markets in northern California. It’s unique because it’s large enough that there’s a lot of real estate activity – there are about 300,000 residents of that city – but small enough that there’s not much in the way of competition from BIG MONEY interests like hedge funds and other major capital sources. And that means something really good for individual investors like me and you: Serious opportunity.

Now stick with me here, folks, because this serious opportunity exists for EVERYBODY… not just those of you who are physically close to Northern California.

Let me give you an example of what my team in Stockton is doing RIGHT NOW. As in… November 4… Wednesday of this week.

My team picked up a property in Stockton on Fairway Glen street for $137,000. We’ll put about $12 grand into fixing it… and in about 100 days – barely even three months – we’ll have resold it for at least $195,000. We’re confidently predicting a net profit of about $33,000.

Now this one isn’t one of our top 10 deals. Not even close. This one will likely yield about 22% cash-on-cash in 100 days. Maybe more than that, because the fact is that the time between now and when we put the property back on the market is enough for property values to have been pushed even higher.

And here’s what I want you to understand: This deal is one we’re doing for a CLIENT. A client who will never pick up a hammer. A client who will never see the property. A client who, for all practical purposes, has no connection to real estate investing whatsoever… other than that she sees the clear opportunity to do very, very well by taking advantage of the scorching hot market there in Stockton.

And you know… you can’t really do this the same way in San Jose or San Francisco. Yes, the markets are exploding there, too. But the entry point for doing deals is SO MUCH HIGHER in those markets that it really precludes involvement from all but the most cash-rich among us.

Well here’s why I’m telling you all this, my friends: Just yesterday, I opened 7 spots for new clients in the SDI Passive Property Flipping program. For these clients, my team will FIND the great deals in the Stockton market, we’ll FIX the property to great resale condition, and will FLIP it to the next buyer… FAST! Here’s something that’s cool: Fully 1/3 of our deals in Stockton take a grand total of 90 days or less! Yep. Full life cycle from purchase to reno to sale and close of escrow. 90 days.

Now here’s the thing: 3 of those spots are already taken after less than one day of availability. I suspect they’ll all be full within a week… maybe even within a day or two…

…and if you’d like to take advantage of the amazing opportunity to make VERY substantial gains in your portfolio from investing in a TRULY HISTORICALLY STRONG market… without getting your hands dirty at all, then here’s what you should do RIGHT NOW:

Visit SDIRadio.com/stockton right now. There you’ll find a webinar that I’ve created that will tell you all about this program. You’ll see a whole lot of case studies… not including the one I just mentioned to you, because that one is literally under 48 hours old… but you’ll see a LOT of case studies… all from the latter part of this year, so they’re all fresh, real examples.

You’ll see how the program works and learn whether you qualify for it. But I respectfully recommend you go to check it out RIGHT NOW at SDIRadio.com/stockton. We do have a “tour” event coming up in early December so that you can come out and meet the team if you’d like, but there’s a VERY VERY LIMITED capacity for that event. So go right now to SDIRadio.com/stockton to learn more.

My friends…

Invest wisely today, and live well forever!
