first time cash flow 2nd home investment idea

[Kevin Zhang]

New to this forum and hopefully find some useful advice and info. 

I wanted to use my home equity to purchase a 2nd home/apartment for cash flow.   I need some advice where in the SF bay area where I can start to look for that 2nd home.   My home value in the 1.2 million while I still owe the bank 250k.   I was looking into Sacramento area, but not sure how the rental market is out there yet? any city i should look for as a beginner? 

Thanks
Kevin.
