Hi @Anurag D.@Anurag D.

Here's my take. If you want to commute to SF, then the Brentwood area is better. Tracy/MH is better for the south bay commute.

I feel EG would appreciate steadily than Tracy because it depends on Sac economy whereas Tracy is overflown population from BA.

I haven't looked at Roseville/Rocklin. Willing to hear more from other folks.

@Somit Joe

This helps. Thank you !!

Thank you @Kevin Reinell

Based on what industry is Folsom appreciating?

Is Folsom considered as a place for having a stopover for Lake Tahoe ?

@DJ Dawsonundefined

Thank you for your valuable inputs, esp. commute perspective. I never looked at west sac so far. I Will start looking into it.

• Some of my considerations are
  should be independent of BA/Tech industry economy.
• Good schools and safe neighborhood for rentability/house-hacking
• Steady growth for dollar-cost averaging 
• Future scope for us to live in case if remote working becomes long-term

Thank you for your response @Jason Rhodewalt. What are the means of commute? Driving or anything else? I know Folsom schools are great. But how is the school district & jobs in EG relatively? 

Hi BP,

I joined recently and this place is so helpful. I’m a newbie to real estate investing and currently living in Fremont,CA. Because of COVID, I’m working from home for the past year, and most possibly I would be doing the same this year as well. My intention is to move to the new house and stay there until COVID ends while renting out Fremont property, and return back to Fremont property by renting out the new property. So I decided to look out the outskirts of the Bay Area and started exploring Tracy, Brentwood, etc. Recently I came to know Elk Grove and visited a few weeks back and felt that it has good proximity to commuting to the Bay Area because of ACE expansion and future High-speed rail project. Eventually, I started exploring Folsom because of the school district and visited the Folsom ranch and neighborhood. Even though I liked Folsom, price and distance (to Bay Area) are pulling me back.

Can you pls advise which location to choose considering renting proximity and commute (1-2 times/week) to BA?
