Hi all, I just got into the podcast a few months ago with my brother who is also from Portland, now starting to read the recommended guides/books and get involved in the community!

@Wes Blackwell is VERY involved in the Sacramento market and can provide you with more insight than I on specifics but if you have any questions about specific neighborhoods feel free to reach out, or if you are looking for a partner who can property manage as well as you are in the bay area I am at your service =)
