Oakland Vs Northern California Vs Folsom
Hello,
I need to immediately relocate to San Francisco and its is not making any sense to buy a SFH in the Socal in places like Pleasanton, Fremont, etc so I was thinking I should house hack a multifamily. What according to the experienced members here would be a better strategy to begin house hacking a MF. I was considering Oakland (both East and West and even Richmond) closer to the BART station so that it can help me commute to work daily. I am also considering Northern california San Rafel, Santa Rosa etc but not sure about the commute to work in SF. Really appreciate if someone can give some expert guidance here.
Thanks
