How did you pick those areas?

I think the market will pick up in 2025 as a whole but 2024 was a big dud. 

Identifying these trends and targeting high-demand areas can yield solid returns.Long-Term Stability: Real estate has historically been a stable, appreciating asset class.

For best results shop the vendors (who can be covered by insurance/meet HOA requirements) and get several options to your HOA management company to have the board pick from.

I also am starting a 4-class certificate program in REI.

Also, consider this copy & paste advice below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Class action lawsuits are already being discussed and there is potential at least portions of the blazes were caused by arson, often excluded from coverages.

@Venka Pulla Many smaller PMCs are unprofessional, they can also be vindictive.So, suggest you get all the info you can from your Owner Portal before terminating them.Also, hire a new PMC BEFORE terminating the current PMC.Then, terminate and work closely with the new PMC to get tenant payments switched over and whatever documentation is missing.Hopefully, you'll screen for a new PMC better than you did to pick the current one!

It's a Class A location in Sacramento.

There are Class A industrial projects underway and the development of a large retailer.
