Generally speaking, I would not recommend STR in West Sacramento, however, we'll see if that changes with the A's coming to town :)

I recommend considering your cash flow and debt-to-income ratio before making a decision, and consulting with a financial advisor to tailor the choice to your specific needs.Good luck!

I also recommend that you attend some local real estate investment meetup groups.

I would recommend looking at a loan with a short prepayment penalty if looking to get cash out, that way you can refinance again if rates drop again in the near future. 

I’m curious if you’ve had experience with this approach, and if so, I’d appreciate any insights you might be able to share.Additionally, do you have a real estate agent you would recommend who specializes in investment properties in the area?

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

My recommendation would be to iron out what you're looking for as an investment goal.

On the other hand, tenants tend to cause damages when moving these appliances in/out, so having them in place may be safer.I recommend you look at what others are doing in your community and price point.

I'd recommend starting with the lower hanging fruit than a large basement reno - if your comps are close but don't quite get you to your number.Finishing the basement (with proper egress) could push you over the top, but confirm with an appraiser first to ensure it counts.

I do have an FT job as a General Manager but my work schedule is fixed and stable -- Any managing broker team recommendations will be helpful and appreciated.
