Bay Area Vs Sacramento

[Kumar Gaurav]

Hello,

My first home was a MF a triplex in NJ and I have been able successfully able to househack for almost 4 years. Now that the remote work has been lifted I need to relocate to CA soon due to work. Given Bay Area is an appreciation play , I don’t think I will be able to cash flow like I did in NJ , I’ve looked at even Oakland but the prices have gone up insanely high the numbers are not making any sense with the high rise in interest rates. Luckily we have an office in Sacramento so I have an option to explore Sacramento. This time around I am thinking to buy a single family in a nice school area where I can comfortably live with family without househacking at least for sometime. Appreciate if someone here can share some areas I need to be looking at in Sacramento

Thanks
