Investing in Oakland

Hi,

I am considering buying a 2-4 unit multi-family in Oakland, CA and wanted some advice.

- Is it too late to buy in Oakland given the appreciation we have already seen?

- If not, what areas should I focus on if I want to rent out to millennials and tech workers?

- What are the challenges with having rental property there?

Thanks,

A's just announced location of new stadium near lake merritt... Oakland works if you have the capital, but it's going to take a lot to get into it. Should slow down a bit come the holidays, less people want to move so that works both ways (buyer/seller).
