The first rental property in Bay Area with cash flow?

[Suntorn Sae-eung]

I am very new in real estate investing. Because i live in Bay Area, i am thinking of having a rental property nearby.

However, the price of properties is high, and would not generate cash flow, as my newbie thought.

If anyone has experience in this area, please kindly share.

Also, Is it possible to have a cash flow one here?

Or should invest elsewhere.

I never do any real estate investment and, honestly, am afraid of uncertainty for long-distance investment.
