No difference really but there has been a decent dip in rent in SF atleast and some other parts of the bay. I’ve been staying at the same apt complex in SF proper and studios that used to go for 2.7-3.2k are now available for as low as 1.6. Same kinda dip with 1bd units. I just renewed my lease in my studio and got a rent dip from 2200 (last year) to 1781 (signed last week). Bottom line is that timing is everything and prices fluctuate all the time. Best to start looking for areas (part of the bay) and corresponding neighborhoods atleast 2 months before moving and short list quickly so you can start to narrow down potential apt units from a month before you move.

Cheapest now due to low demand as ^ said.

Normally, it’s marginally cheaper in winter than summer/fall because there’s a rush of activity in summer/fall with new graduates/movers, but fewer options too.

No difference
And summer can get pretty cold here

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
