Hi everyone! I'm new to the investing world and have been diligently researching real estate investing for months now, attending as many seminars as possible in my area, reading books and listening to podcasts from Ken McElroy, Robert Kiyosaki, and Mark Quan, trying to really invest in my knowledge base first as much as possible so I can make informed decisions for my first deal. I am based out of Sacramento, CA and looking to purchase my first single family rental property potentially in this area due to it being easier to manage independently. Does anyone have any advice or experience in this area they can share? 

Also, if anyone is attending the real estate investment workshop August 1-3 hosted by Real Success Investments in Sacramento, let me know if you would be interested in  networking!

Hey Melissa, congrats on your next step in real estate investing. I'm an agent and investor in Sacramento. This is definitely a buyers market, but location is still key. Are you buying turnkey or looking for a fixer? I'll DM you my info.

    Hey Melissa! I'm a local broker and investor here in Sacramento, specializing in multifamily and Airbnb (we manage over 100 properties!). STR investment in particular makes up a significant division of our business, especially now that bonus depreciation was re-codified without the sunset provision. Also a colleague of the illustrious @Scott Scoville above^^

    You should come by our meetup on August 6th, Lucid Winery at 6pm! We host every first Wednesday. It's a great place to rub shoulders with RE investors of various experience levels. 

    Best of luck to you in your journey and please consider us as friends and resources.

    Melissa, you’re laying a strong foundation with all that learning and local engagement. Sacramento can be a solid market if you focus on neighborhoods with good rent demand and job growth. Managing yourself is doable, just make sure to line up trusted local contractors in advance. Keep analyzing deals and networking, feel free to reach out if you need any help or advice!
