There’s no real reason to jump into another market unless your goals shift and your current market doesn’t fit anymore—or if the market itself stops producing the results you need.Mastering one market and squeezing every opportunity out of it is a much better play than spreading yourself too thin and getting half-baked results in multiple places.

I'm a local real estate broker, investor, and manager (100+ rentals, mostly Airbnb/STR and multifamily).House hacking is a tried-and-true method and in Sacramento you can produce some meaningful income while enjoying the appreciation and tax benefits of owning real estate.

Sounds like you're in the scale/harvesting time so I think you need to determine if this property is something you are happy with the cashflow it would produce as well as the time needed to manage it or hire a property manager, or is it time to take the equity and redeploy it into something more worthwhile like a higher cash flowing investment or creating higher equity in the home you buy down here.

If you only have one LLC and don’t need entity tracking, you could get a lower subscription and categorize your properties as ‘customers’, then units and tenants would be sub-customers.Simple Start would allow you to invoice your tenants (if desired through QBO) and produce basic reports. 

STRs generally produce more income than LTRs, but they are more work.
