Unless new companies move into the city and create replacement jobs, the only available jobs will be low-paying service sector jobs.

It is very literally the job of city to designate and manage sectors of the city for certain purposes.

The neighborhood is very safe and near good school districts and a growing economy (restaurants, leisure activities, near the interstate but not BY the interstate).

Investing in Hawaii is much much more difficult than in Sacramento because the real economy is primarily tourism while in CA/Sacramento is mostly tech/private sector, not to mention high HOA and fee simple/leasehold issue.

@Wes ShortAs you know, I am new to the MF sector. 

Hi Sonya, I started off as an out of state investor living in San Francisco in 2021 and chose the Ohio  markets (mostly Columbus for now) to start off with because of the low entry points as well as the tech sector getting a big boost as previously mentioned by Min. 

Low cost of living, diversified sectors with rapid development, plenty of mfam properties, and healthy rent growth.

Broker says he’s got a line of interested renters and potential buyers because nobody is building these.Seems this sector is extremely underserved. 

So in certain markets and sectors there is some risk, but it's a huge brisk 1031 field out there. 

Cheers I would lay out the general risk for the typical asset class :1. most problem with any asset class is fair valuation2. general interest rate risk3. local market risk4. owner risk5. loan assumption risk6. change in the market riskSo in theory, the safest asset would be the asset that's backed with physical asset that the valuation itself is fair per FMV,you dont want to give note to house where the value is everywhere, this happen a lot in office sector for example.Interest rate risk is you don't want to be paid 3% while the Fed rate is 6%Local market risk, you dont want to invest in location where inventory is rising and home price is going down Owner risk, their capacity to pay the debt.Loan assumption, the lower LTV, the better it is.Basically you have to be as good as Bank's underwriter when they write a note.
