Not easy to compare but will say that given Sacramento is a huge public sector setting PLUS growing private (IT etc) & with the likes of Amazon fulfillment center, it has it's positives. 

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

I'm currently working as a civil engineer in the transportation sector, and I closed on my first investment property this month, a single family home fix and flip project.  

And as others said, yes, this sector is hot.

The best performing commercial sector for the last 10 years has been senior housing, but that performance wil pale in comparison to how the senior housing sector will perform over the next 5-10 years.  

Even though my goal in real estate is to play in the commercial and bulk REO sector. obviously I need to build up some cash first.

One of the most overlooked aspects of real estate investing is that at its core, you are becoming a business owner, regardless of whether you are looking to purchase an investment or become actively involved in another sector of the industry.

@Jeremy Shinall I think we are going to see significant growth on 415 especially within the commercial sector.

the best direction I can give you is to look where employment has stayed stable with a good numbers of residents and diverse work opportunities for the public sector.
