Bay area or Sacramento investment property

[Tracy Lau]

Hello, I'm a first time real estate investor. My husband and I own a house in San Jose and would like to buy an investment home. San Jose is way out of our price range. We are thinking around 400k max. Hoping for hold and sell in maybe 10+ years. 

does anyone have suggestions of where in bay area or near Sacramento is good for renting? We are open to anything, just hoping to make money after appreciation. At least semi remodeled 

thank you
