For so long it was a forgotten one, but the amount of outside investment over the past 5-10 years has turned it into one of the nation's fastest growing metro with three large subburbs sprouting off of it (Roseville, Folsom, and Elk Grove).

@Alex GraebeI've written about Sacramento so much, let's start by getting you up-to-speed on the local market here and what's going on:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/621/topics/396725-millennial-migration-to-sacramento-2017---here-comes-the-rushGo read that first, and then come back so the rest of this post makes more sense........Annnnnnnnd we're back!

Fastest replies and best customer service I've experienced.

BP has been source of inspiration and providing tremendous resources to get up to the speed!

You could do a lot with 500k if you use financing, so usually this wouldn't be the fastest way to scale.

My entire day and time involves learning about, keeping up to speed with, and selling the new homes that are being built.

However, for those who can afford the higher mortgages for the next year, keep on alert for potentially once in a lifetime real estate deals.Case in point, central banks around the world are now cutting interest rates at the fastest pace since 2020.Are you looking to start investing in real estate and need to find deals that pencil out?

As more properties come on the market, you will see what properties sell the fastest, which rent the highest, etc.

Myrtle Beach is the one of the fastest growing cities in the country, so there is just a lot of opportunity for any type of investment here.

That's why they're moving to Sacramento instead:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/621/topics/396725-millennial-migration-to-sacramento-2017---here-comes-the-rushAs more and more tech companies allow employees to work from home or commute part time, and more and more start ups head out to Sacramento to save on office space and employee pay, the city will just get better and better.And while it will take AT LEAST another decade to come to fruition, once the high speed rail project connects Sacramento to San Francisco in under an hour, Sacramento will BLOW UP when tech employees with $150k+ per year salary realize they can cut their housing costs by 50-75% and live like a king in Sacramento... all the while working on the train into the city (or doodling around on Facebook instead of having to focus on the drive and deal with traffic).https://www.sfcta.org/california-high-speed-rail-projectI know Sacramento better than just about any agent or investor out there (toots own horn), and these are the reasons investors (and residents) are skipping over smaller areas like Vacaville, Fairfield, Tracy, Modesto, Merced, etc. are instead setting their sights on Sacramento.
