For example, here in Modesto, California, Modesto Irrigation District that provides our electricity will not let anyone else install solar on their house.

Any thoughts on the multi family investment prospects in Modesto for a period of 2 to 3 years?

BTW my family lives in California between San Francisco, Modesto & Livermore (Lots of wine plantations here), some of them are interested to invest in real estate.

Silveria III - down in the Stockton/Modesto market.  

I'm renting in Milpitas but investing in Stockton and Modesto.

This partner of mine has bad credit because he just doesn't care. he is current on mortgage and has 200k in his bank and really no other debts.3) Stockton is (in)famous for having high unemployment, low property values, and a bankrupt city government.Stockton is my base because of our primary business here but we could definitely look into nearby cities, Tracy, Lodi, Modesto, Manteca?

So Baby Momma ain't too keen on Modesto either.Fresno?

@Garrett MayoOne qq: What about Modesto and Stockton is it because distance you didn't invest in those or more of its economic prospects? 

A home in Modesto much further out of the Bay Area was on Hubzu and recently sold for $206,000.

I've called on a couple of properties in the Modesto area and there's hasn't been a slowdown on purchasing yet.
