Are there other areas in CA that you could drive to and find a multifamily in your budget like in San Bern?

I live in River North and preferably would like to work in downtown Chicago and surrounding neighborhoods but open to the suburbs as well.

I am in West Coastal FL with all of my listings within a 2 hour drive. 

Still have a lot of family in Northern California and am only a short drive away.

Good afternoon,I’m new to the real estate industry and have been actively conducting market research by driving for dollars in the Austin (ATX), San Antonio (SATX), Houston (HTX), and Dallas-Fort Worth (DFTX) areas.

I will definitely reach out to you in next few weeks as, in a perfect world, it would be nice to have the investment properties within an hour or two drive (Sacramento is one option I want to look into and will also consider some of the other cities you mentioned) of the South Bay Area where I live.

So my 5 bedroom new construction on top of the mountain with phenomenal views is lumped in with a 30 yr old 5 bedroom 1/4 mile away in the valley surrounded by trees.  

These tools are available to pro and you can test drive them with a free pro trial as well.

I would like to get your thoughts on the area you are in and other surrounding areas.

.- Diverse Property Portfolio: The area seems to have a mix of both residential and commercial properties, which could allow for diversification in your investment strategy.Strategic Location: Shelby's proximity to global markets via nearby airports, rail, and port facilities could make it attractive for businesses, potentially driving demand for both commercial and residential real estate.Potential Challenges- Economic Concerns: The unemployment rate of 13.0% is relatively high, which could impact the overall economic stability of the area and potentially affect real estate values and rental demand.- Price Discrepancy: There's a notable difference between the median listing price ($295,000) and the average home value ($201,945).
