Originally posted by Account Closed:Jain,It will be hard to find cash flowing properties in the Bay Area.My rule of thumb to get a cash flow you rent need to be at least 1% of the purchase price.Meaning if you are buying $150000 property rent need to be $1500 monthly to be constantly cash flow positive.This rent to price ratio is unachievable in the bay area.If you are looking for the cash flow I would recommend to concentrate on out of state investments.If you want to learn more feel free to check this meetup: meetup.com/Los-Gatos-Real-Estate-Networking-Meetup/ I usually would get accused of rendering a hate speech for suggesting this very line of thought.

San Bruno is good, there're few that's being targeted as prime area for flipper (buy 800k sell 1.4m).Around Berkeley is good too especially near the hill.Please do note when asset price is 1 mil, the trajectory of asset appreciation is different than the one below 1 mil.So these area when we said "Berkeley", has large area ranges, usually the higher elevation home is always priced way higher than the downtown.
