Hey Dinesh!

Congrats on getting your feet wet into real estate! 

I grew up in South San Jose, moved to Modesto area earlier this year and have a rental in Fresno, so I'm really familiar with Lathrop and Clovis :)

Personally looking into Fresno county for my house hack next year. Feel free to connect and I can provide more insight!

Hey Vandan,

Congrats on getting your feet wet with real estate investing! Which strategy are you leaning more towards (i.e. cash flow or appreciation)? 

When I was starting out, I too was trying to figure out if I wanted to go out of state or purchase in bay area and ended up purchasing out of state because for me, lower capital invested meant lower risk. One thing I didn't consider at the time, was the velocity of my money and how quick I can move that capital around from one investment to the next.

Hi Vivan

Congrats on getting your feet wet and jumping into real estate! I too, had $50k in savings when I was looking to invest in real estate.

2 options I considered: 1) buy a LT out of state rental, or 2) buy a househack in the Bay Area. I ended up buying out of state simply because most of the investors I knew were also buying out of state and it seemed like the safer investment.

One thing I didn't consider (that I wish I had) was the velocity of my money and how much rents are increasing in the bay every year (both good and bad!). Had I purchased in the Bay at the time I bought my OOS rental last year, there would have been much greater appreciation that I could have leveraged and used to buy more rentals. Also, I still had my accounting job and was a strong W-2 earner, but wasn't flexible with location preferences which is why I didn't end up househacking - I wanted to stay in South Bay and it was way out of my budget

Hope this helps!
