Hey Deepen,

I'm a strong believer in the Sacramento market. I'm an agent and investor in Sacramento and have built a portfolio of SFH's and Small Multi Family properties. While cash flow has become more difficult to find with increased interest rates, I shifted my focus to buying properties in better locations with the intent of holding them for a longer time horizon. The job market is solid, and Sacramento is the #1 place people are moving to from the Bay Area. Vacancies are low, and rents remain high. Class A properties may not cashflow, but they are the best bet to hedge the inflationary economy that we are in right now. Let me know if you'd like to chat about the Sacramento market further. Best of luck.

We just finished our most recent Buy & Hold in Elmhurst, a historic neighborhood in Sacramento. This property is steps from UCD Med Center. Our value add was adding an additional bedroom without increasing the square footage of the home. This house is steps from the expanding UCD Med Center complex and will offer housing for medical professionals for years to come. We had an appraisal done on the property, and are planning to BRRR or take out a HELOC on the property in 1 year. Also, just closed on a fixer in William Land Park and have started renovations. Will share details on that property soon. In the meantime, take a look at our Before & After and Flythrough videos below, along with our property numbers.

Hi Scott, nice work! Will you be LTR or MTR on this home? Those are some really good numbers on rent.

Hi all. My family's looking to sell a triplex in San Mateo, CA. Most realtors I see might have some experience selling to investors, but the ones I see who are specialized in this are in the bigger commercial firms (JLL, CBRE, Marcus & Millichap). Problem there is that I don't know anything about those multifamily specialized realtors and there are obviously no reviews about them online. What do some of you multifamily investors out there suggest? 


Hey Khaled, congrat's on getting ready to sell your triplex. Are you looking at 1031'ing your property? What are your real estate goals and reason for selling. I'm an investor and agent, and lived in San Francisco for over 10 years. I'd be happy to chat if you have time.

Hey Michael,

I'm a broker and investor here in Sacramento, CA. I manage over 100 properties (mostly STR / Airbnb).

I did the same thing last year: Bought two duplexes, total spend about $1.2m, then got cost segregations done for only a total of $800 (I'll show you how). 

Sacramento is still rich with opportunity. If you guys are looking around here, I can provide a discounted commission by partnering with your wife, depending on the state in which she holds a license. 


Hey Michael, 

I'm a real estate agent and investor in Sacramento. I just recently completed a cost segregation study on one of my quadplexes. I'd be happy to share my experience. I plan on doing this again for myself and am working with a few of my clients on this.

Hey Ricio,

Building an ADU is a great idea. Homes with ADU's are highly desirable, and can help produce cash flow. I recently built an ADU. It's been a great mid term rental for traveling professionals. The other alternative is to use that capital and buy a small multi family property. I might be biased, but I'm an agent and investor in Sacramento, and have bought all my rentals in that area. While cash flow has been more challenging, the rental market is top notch, vacancies are low, and you still get appreciation. I'd be happy to chat about this further if you're ever interested. Best of luck and looking forward to following your journey.

This helps a lot! thank you so much for the information! ill definitely keep this in mind when looking around. would you say that if i were to look around the Lodi area (10 mins outside of north stockton) that i should go for class A neighborhoods as well? Looking at multifamily houses around stockton in class A neighborhoods are few and far between.

No, Lodi is a totally different market. Class B & C multis are solid in Lodi. Unfortunately there is not a lot of them available. Best of luck.
