I am looking at a condo in Fat City as an investment property and read there is a lot of revitalization going on in this area.

Honestly, I think people paying these outrageous prices for properties that don't even cash flow either have no idea what a deal looks like or are being sweet-talked by their agent into believing it is one so they can get a fat commission check.

But violent crime generally only happens in the worst.If you decide to come to Sacramento, this map I created with all the neighborhoods and their ratings will be a HUGE shortcut for your learning curve:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/621/topics/444774-sacramento-neighborhood-map-and-ratings----finallyUltimately, it's going to come down to the numbers on all the properties you look at and what kind of returns they offer.But beware looking in the worse neighborhoods... they have high cap rates and on paper they look like an amazing deal... until you find out that collecting rent is a challenge and the tenants destroy your properties so you're left with a fat renovation bill every time someone moves out.If you have any more questions just ask and we'll help you get pointed in the right direction :-)

Like I said that's why they give me a nice fat unsecured LOC so I can move and tag the secured line and not put him in a big rush. 

Lol, writing a big, fat check to the IRS is the hardest part of flipping. 

(but they HAVE to be fat virgin goat.

To the contrary, you want as fat a deal as you can find to absorb any mistakes and not let your first property wipe you out.

Now, however, foreclosures are far and few between and not nearly as fat a market as they were back during the crash.

They paid themselves fat fees even though fund was losing money hand over fist.

@Evan DobrowskiCan't forget to go to Fat Smitty's on 101 (at 20 in Discovery Bay) for a burger when in the area.
