Newbie: Sacramento or Arlington, TX

[Anks Desai]

Looking for advise on whether to consider Sacramento or Arlington, TX for investment in real estate property. I am a newbie investor looking to have a mix of cash-flow and appreciating assets. I live in SF Bay area so obviously would prefer something closer like Sacramento, but I am also aware of the fact that Sacramento is difficult to follow the 1% rule. I hear Arlington is still upcoming, and there is still a possibility of positive cash flow.

Is there any advise for me on which areas to look into?
