@Sam Kim I definitely agree with you. School district is the reason I started considering Sam Ramon in the first place but Newark has been steadily rising and is good in terms of location and weather. I'm wondering if in future there'll be an improvement in the school district. 

Anyone knows anything about Newark and San Ramon in terms of potential growth in the 2 cities specifically. 

@Sandeep S. @Arlen Chou brings up some really good points. The only reason we want to invest in OOS properties is because of the cash flow. I do agree that being closer to the property has many advantages but I'm not sure how to find the right properties. I'd love to know more about your experience in East Bay and any suggestions you may have. Thanks!

Does anyone have experience with property management companies like Roofstock, HomeUnion etc.? If yes, what are the advantages and disadvantages of taking the services of such companies?

@Brett Snodgrass I'm still researching the markets so if there's any info you can send about the Indianapolis market, that would be very helpful. Thanks for reaching out!

@Larry Fried Thanks for your suggestions. I've added your recommendations to my list and I'll definitely check them out. I really appreciate your help!

@Larry Fried From my understanding reading the comments/blogs on BP, it's important to look for cash flow and if the property appreciates over time, you definitely benefit from it but it's still a speculation. So, I'm leaning towards cash flow. 

Build my own team but turnkey looks like a good option too because we're not considering putting in a lot of effort.

Not looking at distressed properties for now simply because we don't want to put time and effort into it. So, it's say something in-between. 

@Chris Kelly Do you know of any good property managers and real estate agents there? Also, would you be able to provide more info on what type of rentals work best? Multi-family, single family etc.? What configurations and any other details that would help to make decisions. Thanks for your help!

@Taylor Ferris Thanks for the link. Looking forward to the Meetup.

@Arlen Chou Thanks for explaining it so well. So, in this case, do you think it's better to invest in California itself? If out-of -state, which states should I be looking at? Thanks for all your help!
