Hello all,I have been contemplating getting a vacation rental but biggest issue would be financing.

There still are fantastic deals and more will be hitting the market2.

Anyways, fast forward we are finally gaining momentum and will be done in 30 days but my maturity is Oct 23rd which is not enough time to have it sold and closed on.

Decent purchase price to rent ratioSome of the areas I'm looking into are:HaywardSan LeandroOakleyConcordPleasant HillBrentwoodTracyMantecaTurlockModestoSacramentoMy concern about some of the areas specifically in the Central Valley (often recommended here on BP) like Fresno, Turlock, etc, is that looking at numbers the appreciation doesn't seem to meet the mark for me (purchase price to rent ratio is decent, but equity isn't very good), so I'm generally focused more on the SF Bay Area.Any recommendations on cities or areas would be extremely helpful. 

To give some context, my budget is around $300K, so any recommendations within that range would be especially helpful.Looking forward to your advice and suggestions!

Here's what I’m targeting:Investment Criteria:Unemployment rates below the national average.Rent-to-price (RTP) ratio of 0.60 or higher.Median home prices below $150,000.Growing population and areas where rents are stable or increasing.Key Questions:Which markets have you found to be ideal for first-time investors?
