I live in Berkeley and have some money to invest in an income property (preferably a house with 8+ bedrooms).<p>I think it will be a big plus to my investment if I can also turn it into a hacker house where coders and founders would live and work together.<p>For meals, we can get bulk order groceries, which saves a lot of time and money (I currently have this setup and swear by it).<p>The rent here is around $600-800 per room (a lot cheaper than San Francisco). A food plan is around $140 per month (healthy food too).<p>I just want to get a straw poll to see where would be a good place for such a house. I appreciate other suggestions too.
