, then a local triplex 2 years later (so exciting but so scary to have tenants), then a fourplex in another state the following year (crash course in learning to vet PMs), then another fourplex last year next door to the other fourplex we already owned (always nice to have more control over neighboring properties - and their tenants).

When the market crashed we were hit HARD.

They blast through with 4x4 go, then, ooops, no 4x4 stop.....crash!

I have done this since before the crash, because it only takes one crazy to ruin your day.

What Ryan posted is true, but also is true for most cities that went through the housing crash in 2009.  

They're don't understand the market and think their house is still worth what it was before the crash.

I used to live in Tempe and have seen the area flourish since the crash. 1 bedroom spots rent for around $800-$1000 depending on the quality of the residence and the proximity to ASU, so you should achieve some pretty decent monthly rents. 

My main goal is to start with SFRs but wouldn't be against multifamily as well.After looking around I have decided to invest globally in order to have the advantages of having a worldwide portfolio (that is less fragile to local market crashes), and because the ROI in Israel isn't that investor friendly.

Just wanted to get a sense of what people are seeing in Sacramento and the immediate surround areas. What does everyone think will happen over the next 6-12 months? I am anticipating a softening market but I’d like to...

Nothing available WOWs me but I really don't think the market will all of a sudden crash like some are predicting.
