Best place for house hacking in bay area?

[Vivan Bhalla]

Hi,

I am thinking for buying my first ever real estate investment property in 2020. I live in the San Francisco bay area and thinking for investing here only by house hacking. I want to know what is the best place for house hacking in the bay area?

Is something in Oakland, Hayward or easy bay make sense or something south of San Francisco like Daly city would be better?

I understand that Bay area is not a cash flow play but appreciation play. I would be buying more properties in the future so that the old ones start cash flowing once I move out.

Any suggestions or tips appreciated.

Thanks
