Hey Chris, depends on your goals, but the safer play is a house hack where you live. I've helped a few investors in the last month purchase a house hack, one buying a duplex and renting out the other side, and another buying a single family and renting out the rooms. Location is key, plus if you're planning on living there, a good neighborhood is probably important to you. Be happy to chat more about house hacks and Sacramento anytime. By the way, I'm currently involved in a few flips in Sacramento, if you're ever interested in checking it out.

Hey @Mary Huong Nguyen welcome to BP! I'm also an investor in Sacramento, along with being an agent that works with investors. Looking forward to connecting more.

Hey Jacob, I'm an investor and agent. Be happy to help and give recommendations to hard money lenders, contractors, etc. I'll DM you.

On small multi families, you can get a little bit of both, appreciation and cash flow. Seller finance or sub2 is probably the best way to get a higher return on cash flow, but those deals are more difficult to get. Be happy to meet up the next time you're in town.

@Danita Young congrats! This is a great way to get started on building your portfolio. I just helped another investor buy a house hack duplex in Sacramento last month. Inventory is low, but there are still plenty of opportunities to get into the small multifamily properties. Rents are solid, and vacancies are low on the rental side. I would focus on location, good street, decent neighborhoods that you're willing to live in. You'll pay a premium for a turnkey duplex, but if you're open to a light rehab or have the ability to put in some sweat equity, you could find a duplex at a better price. I'd be happy to chat with you more about this anytime.

Hey @Allen Ramirez, we're "BRRR'ing" up in Sacramento. Focused mostly on good locations, with plenty of value add potential. Add square footage or beds/baths. Getting deals on the MLS and off market. Location is key though.

Hey @Scott Trench, I'm an investor and agent in Sacramento. We're still finding deals, but have to be more patient, like off market, seller finance, creative finance. We're doing heavy value add deals, which still pencils for SFH's and Small Multi's. We're also seeing flips work in many of the first time home buyer neighborhoods. Also, starting to target properties that can be rented by the room or as sober living, etc. Lot's of different strategies that work. Just need to pick one, know the market, and rinse and repeat what works. Glad to hear Denver is working for you:-)

Hey Sipan, I'm an agent and investor in Sacramento. I built a permitted ADU above the garage of a primary SFH and rented it out to traveling nurses. I also have helped a number of investors that have converted garages and detached buildings into ADU's. Happy to help anytime.

 Hey Chinu, I have a double lot in Sacramento Zoned RD5 ready to go. DM me anytime. 

Welcome Lima! I'm a local agent and investor in Sacramento. Looking forward to connecting.
