Are there really any cashflow property in Bay Area(CA)?

[Jain P.]

I was wondering , if I am the only one, having hard time finding 'positive cash flow' property in Bay Area(California). Or is this a fact, and known to everyone? 

Sorry, i am newbie to biggerpockets, so this question may sound very basic to everyone here. I just wanted to get people's opinion, that Bay Area properties are not for investment anymore, considering cashflow aspect?

I ran the biggerpocket calculator, and also did my own calculations, and most of the properties are running "Cash Flow Negative"

why does it have to cash flow.... think about it.. if your cash flow natural or 100 or 200 positive.. or 100 or 200 negative.. is that going to change your life or your lifestyle in any appreciable manner ????  but if you can get in the game in the Bay Area and if your like those that all chim in on BP I am buy and hold for ever... where do you want to do that.. in a market with history is no movement or in a market with a history of wild upward swings over time.

I like many out of state markets as long as you choose correctly and you can scale to your 10 doors quickly.. if your going to buy one or two I would do everything I could to get some prime slice of the Bay Area pie.

Even just buying a lot or two in the bay area you sit on with NO CASH flow is a great investment in my mind. But what do I know.
