I am renovating a duplex and we decided to go with the solid doors since we are trying to attract nicer tenants and making upgrades where we feel that we can.

That's why I am attracted to it myself.

The rates look attractive for the 5 year, but going out to 10 is my preference to bridge the gap of downturns.  

There are other much more attractive investment areas of town, though.That said, those numbers are horrid.

And then, in the coastal cities, you already have high rent, so what will their wallets bear? 

There are some excellent deals in stockton, manteca, Tracy for entry level, new or very experienced investor willing to drive a little extra and have a bigger wallet, for what you can buy in bay area, you may buy an entire apartment complex or multi-family.  

At the area attracts a lot of first time buyers it seems that most want a house without the need to major CapEx over their heads.  

I think that is one of the main attractions of the industry.

What attracted me to the Matrix is they are local.

This becomes more attractive as the dollar continues to fall.
