You should also consider setting up keywords such as Los Gatos, Silicon Valley, Bay Area, San Francisco, etc.

it was right out of the TV show Silicon valley.. the owner of the building ( these were Tish buildings My dad rented in those back in the 70s :)) Anyway I digress the owner of the building had one entire floor dedicated to these startups.. in the middles of the floor was a ping pong table tons of Mountain Dew and red bull and about 30 little start ups..

Instead of boarding some of them up, you could silicon in some plexiglass panels so that natural light can come through.

Out of college, I was a founding employee at one of the fastest growing start ups in Silicon Valley at the moment with a likely IPO in the next 1-2 years.

its quite common if they live in Silicon valley to have roommates when your average home price is 1.5 to 2.5 million and sometime 8 to 10 roommates  :) All kidding aside. 

I'm usually pretty good at finding things like that, so either they don't exist in my area, (seems unlikely for silicon valley) or I'm using the wrong terms. 

I bought a house in Silicon Valley before moving to California in 1986.

My search has not been active recently but lately have been thinking of areas like San Leandro, Newark and Fremont since they still offer better housing value than say San Jose for Silicon Valley workers....I imagined you are looking at Sacramento because you decided Oakland is too expensive but curious if you considered those other nearby areas at all. 

220$ per sq ft sounds pretty reasonable, but in the east bay not near the Silicon Valley. 

Preston Seo I think one thing you are going to run into is that the rent to value ratios in silicone slopes isint going to work as being a passive invest.
