How old is the roof, furnaces, hot water tanks A/C etc.. if you are setting aside $240 a month and all these things have 5 years or less left on them then you better double or triple the cost for repairs each month.

Sacramento is a great market for multiple reason... rent growth rent triple the national average, plenty of appreciation coming from Bay Area migration of millennials, tech companies moving out here and tech employees from the Bay Area working remotely out here, and if the high speed rail project gets completed in the next 10-20 years and connects Sacramento to SF in less than an hour the Sacramento market will absolutely EXPLODE.Plus, beginning investors like the idea they can go and visit the property any time they want, specifically in an emergency situation.
