Investing in Fresno, CA?

Hey there BP fam!

Newbie alert! I've been bitten by the real estate bug and have gone started learning as much as I possibly can with the basics of real estate investing and have continued to learn more each day. LOVE the podcasts and especially love the forums which has got me feeling pretty confident about making some investments of my own. The big question for me is WHERE?! I live in San Jose, CA and work all over the bay area as a career firefighter and work part-time on the ambulance. The market here in the bay area is way out of my budget, but I'm not letting that stop me from making a move! I'm particularly looking to house hack either a duplex or four plex, which has made it interesting finding one thats not only affordable, but in a decent area. I've looked into Sacramento and Fresno, but Fresno has had the most multi family properties are affordable rates which I can really see working for my family and I. So with that said, I'd love to chat with anyone who has had experience in the Frenso area, knows a thing or two about multi families or house hacking, or even just lives in the area that can offer any advice about the city/market/future in Fresno. Where can I go to learn more about the market there? Should I consider investing in Fresno or would Sacramento be the better option? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
