Martin's event in SF Bay area with his Summit, and a new to me event was @Tarl Yarber's Pacific NW Real Estate Wealth Expo (learned a lot there hanging out with @Scott Trench and @Brandon Turner).Gosh, i feel like I'm namedropping here but grateful to BP to help making this all happen.

The Bay Area was fun but unaffordable. 

I own one rental property in the East Bay which has had a lot of appreciation in the last 5 years, and I am interested in trying to find another to hold long term.

Check out one of the many local REIA's in the Bay Area, there's an investment real estate event basically every week!

I'm in the SF bay area, specifically Hayward, and the best quote they found was $3800.

Any advice on how to market it would be appreciated.Pro's In Campbell CA near the Prune Yard Good Neighborhood / locationIn walking distance to downtown.Cheaper than almost anything else in the Bay AreaLow Property taxesCheaper than almost anything else in the Bay Area.Community PoolConsIs a two Bedroom Mobil HomeNote this community os owned by the residents so no risk of the residents voting to sell the land and evict themselves.Community is VERY well kept.Is Age restricted to 55+ residentsCommunity requires a 700+ FICO score and has to approve all buyers.Community restricted to owner occupants (no rentals).$473 a month in park feesIncludes water, cable, and garbage.So far the realtor has been mostly useless with bad photos and not much advise.  

I live in bay area (Dublin) and planning to visit Sacramento( first time ) tomorrow.

As far as taxes go, you would be re-assessed for the new structure which means that the property taxes would increase (keep in mind most of the home value is the land in the Bay Area).  

In the long run I see little choice other than to eliminate single family zoning so I am interested to see what happens with SB-50.What areas of LA (including West LA and the South Bay) do you see as the best areas for investment over the next five years?

My focus is flipping SFH mainly in the Tampa Bay area.
