Salinas, FresNO/Clovis, Sacramento

[Tom Makinen]

How does everyone feel about investing in second tier California cities in a or b class neighborhood such as Fresno Salinas and Sacramento.  

With Salinas, it is the closest but they really lack high paying jobs in the area.  It is also very expensive.  In a class neighborhood, it can be 500-600k. 

Clovis and north Fresno are a little cheaper at high 200s to low 300s.  They are mostly in good school districts and at least Fresno is a city that have jobs to support growth.

The same thing in sacramento is about 100k higher.  I wonder if the jump will stop at some point as they rely mostly on Bay Area folks to support the high home prices

What do you guys think?  Or should I just invest in Oakland and wait for more gentrification
