Greetings From a Northern Californian Green Horn,

[Nick Clurman]

Hello, my name is Nick and I am finally ready to take the plunge into real estate investing. For the past 15 years I have worked in Facilities Management. I have learned a lot but have no passion for it.

My family and I have decided that we are ready to move out of the San Francisco Bay Area and will likely head towards Sacramento. The thought process is that we will be closer to family and our real estate dollar will go much further.

I currently own a home in Redwood City, in the Silicon Valley. By some crazy turn of events my home has doubled in value since I purchased it in late 2011. We are preparing to sell our house this summer and will likely stay with family in the interim while we study local markets and learn from professionals.

My strategy is mostly buy and hold but likely I will have to mix in fix and flip along the way.

Where are the great opportunities in Sacramento? Should we consider Solano, Sonoma or some other county in Northern California?  If nothing else, we are flexible and open for adventure.  

Warm Regards,

Nick
