Newbie Investor from San Jose, CA looking for distant properties

[John Choi]

Hello, my name is John. I am currently working as a project manager for the construction company and also a newbie investor living in San Jose, CA. I am currently looking to purchase my first rental property in Sacramento area or out of state if possible. The main reason why I have decided to look for distant properties is the current state of the bay area's housing market where the prices of SFR are around or over 1M. I am interested in house flipping, purchasing rental properties (SFR, multi-family homes, etc) to generate cash flow. For house flipping, I am also looking forward to utilize my construction background and expertise.
