Newbie from California, looking for greener pastures

[Chendra Grandhi]

Hello everyone at BP,

Very excited to see the amount of knowledge sharing happening at BP. Hoping to venture into REI through this medium.

I am from bayarea California. Looking for rental properties with cash flow (not easy in bay area). What would be good counties or cities for atleast 1% income properties? Also, appreciate guidance in finding good property management as I would be heavily depending on them. Being new to REI as a whole I prefer properties with less work upfront.

I started looking at Austin, San Antonio Texas based on some of postings at BP. Open to any other areas.

Ready to start with 150k as down payment.

Thank you,

Chendra Grandhi.
