Investment Locations and financial examples in Oakland-Hayward

[Oded Liphshitz]

Hi All,

I'm a bit new to the area but have a lot of experience as a RE investor in Ohio. Planning to move to the bay, I'm trying to learn more about investments that make sense around the bay. The parameters I'm looking at are:

Safety: A relatively safe neighborhood where I can trust getting rent and having my renovation project completed.

Cash-flow: A sustainable investment where there's a healthy balance between houses-prices, taxes, and rental income.

Budget: A good entry-level of about 500k tops for house values (I've seen quite a lot of those in Oakland).

I'm looking to start on the right foot, can anyone point me in the right direction and also maybe give concrete investment examples?

Many thanks,

Oded.

Hi Oded, 

I live in Oakland and the price point you seek is primarily going to be in the rougher areas of east Oakland, San Leandro and maybe Hayward. Once you creep into the Oakland hills the price elevates.
