Compared to Merced, Modesto, or Stockton, maybe not.

Stockton/ Redding/Red Bluff/Modesto/Lodi etc.

We will be starting out in Norcal (Central Valley - Modesto - Manteca - Stockton - Lodi - Galt) and/or Reno.

I'm in modesto market and I've been renting 3/2 single family homes for $1 sq ft up to 1500 sq ft homes.. when higher sq ft obviously that number changes..

That's why they're moving to Sacramento instead:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/621/topics/396725-millennial-migration-to-sacramento-2017---here-comes-the-rushAs more and more tech companies allow employees to work from home or commute part time, and more and more start ups head out to Sacramento to save on office space and employee pay, the city will just get better and better.And while it will take AT LEAST another decade to come to fruition, once the high speed rail project connects Sacramento to San Francisco in under an hour, Sacramento will BLOW UP when tech employees with $150k+ per year salary realize they can cut their housing costs by 50-75% and live like a king in Sacramento... all the while working on the train into the city (or doodling around on Facebook instead of having to focus on the drive and deal with traffic).https://www.sfcta.org/california-high-speed-rail-projectI know Sacramento better than just about any agent or investor out there (toots own horn), and these are the reasons investors (and residents) are skipping over smaller areas like Vacaville, Fairfield, Tracy, Modesto, Merced, etc. are instead setting their sights on Sacramento.

When the only affordable options left are Stockton and Modesto, many people will just say "screw it I'm outta here."

I posted about foreclosure help in "Modesto County" in the Foreclosure Forum.  

That’s why these event would create new trends :- more new builder activity in rural area- more legislation to put more people within a space (ADU and MF/sf zone)- new builder is developing smaller house- retirees moving out from big city creating new house demand in town outside central city like in Fresno, modesto, Sacramento and spokanethese are the trend for next 10 years 

I have decided to give 60 days notice of a rent increase to my tenant in Modesto California. 

Talking to a fried of mine yesterday, he mentioned that he's moving to Modesto and bought a new house.
