Hi there,

I'm hoping to buy investment property that will cashflow and need to decide between investing close by in Richmond, CA or buying out of state. Richmond appears to be overvalued and has also recently enacted strict rent control and eviction policies. It is also known to have areas of high crime. I don't have a ton of cash for a down payment so turnkey properties are looking better everyday. Any and all advice is welcome! Thanks!
