Thoughts on Buying and Holding A One Bedroom Condo in Sacramento

[Arkady Itkin]

Hello everyone. I live in SF but commute regularly to Sacramento for work. I am familiar with the area but not on a real estate level. Looking to make a modest $150-$200 investment into a one bedroom condo near Arden. The average HOA fees are about $300-$400. Looking for thoughts whether this is a good idea for buy / rent /hold and potentially live in the future if need be. If not, what are better alternatives? Thanks a lot!
