What's your take on investment in Merced CA?

[Vamshi Ananth]

Hello,

I live in the Sf Bay Area and as a novice RE investor I feel I am priced out of this market. So I was looking around for better places where properties are still affordable and worth while investing within a 2 hr radius and I found Merced CA. I recently went on a tour of Merced CA, It looks like a University town and has a healthy amount of student population. I am wondering if any one out here has researched the place for investments and if any one has experience in investment properties in Merced?
