Thanks for highlighting Elk Grove. We moved here in 2017 from Fremont in the Bay Area and purchased a home in a new build near to where you visited. We are very happy living in Elk Grove due to the safety, sense of community and all of the new businesses and amenities it offers. Yes - the school system is excellent from our personal experience. But we don't want to say too many good things about it because it could get too crowded.
Agreed, some things are meant to be on a hush hush to keep them good for long term.
My dad bought a new house there in 2016, build from ground up. About $400k. Unfortunately had to sell a year later. Then in 2021 bought one on the market in a gated community for $425k. Best investment my dad made. Great environment, beautiful weather, developing city, and not the price of the Bay Area!!!
How is that best investment?. If he sell it for $425k
Closing Cost - usually split between buyer and seller so 2%.
Repair/Cleaning/Paint - 2000$
Agent Fees - lowest is 5%.
Moving Cost - free if your Dad move all his stuff by himself.
Mortgage Remaining --?
Pretty much he didnt make any ROI, if he bought the house for about $400k and Only get 391k in return. So let say there no Agent, then he made $412k
@@toytulog576 no. He bought a house in 2016. For $400k. Had to sell. Came back in 2021 and bought a different house for $425k. This has nothing to do with profits made on the house. This is in relation to the affordable houses within Elk Grove!
Excellent video. 🎉 thanks so much Nurse to Riches rock!
Thanks for the feedback! 🙏
Love you guys content. I love a bath tub because I like to do recovery salt baths. Keep the videos coming. 😊
See, I knew many people would want the bath tub, lol. Thanks for watching!
More home tours please! Especially homes for families with kids. I appreciated that you included info about the school district and their scores.
Will do, thank you!
woohoo thank you for the house tour! interesting to see how they are different v NY
Thank you for this content 😊
Thanks for watching!
Oh yes, more videos like these and also those far northern areas in California too!
Will do!
Elk Grove and Natomas are some of the best areas in Sac.
Something to think about. I appreciate this video solo much.
Thank you for watching!
Just want to pack and move there. I moved to Boston from the city 1 hour away, thought that I will get a better deal as 3 years experience RN, no, I got 10$ pay cut from per diem to staff. I got to Zillow right after watching your video. So tempted to move. A fan of your channel 🙏😇
Also thank you for highlighting diversity. I think that’s so important, I’m from Michigan (aka white) and when I moved to LA it was like a whole other world. I enjoyed the diversity in all different areas. I would never want to live in an all white area. The world is so diverse and so much to experience than our own race. I appreciate y’all highlighting diversity ❤
Thank you 🙏. We also love living in diverse communities because we are able to connect with people who have unique foods, customs and beliefs than our own. That's one of the reasons we enjoy Sacramento-it's one of the most diverse cities we've ever lived or worked in.
Excellent....thanks
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this content,both of you are amazing.Am a new grad RN from MN planning to move and I’m interested in California.can you kindly highlight of the best branches of Kaiser?I have heard some of them are not the best for new grad Nurses.
Yes pls do a video of house tour in a different locations☺️❤
We've got 3 other videos lined up and plan to travel across California with this series.
question since you guys have free time, have you thought of creating a separate youtube about something completely unrelated to nursing. Your editing skills are very good.
Horrible traffic due to never ending new home construction.
love it
Thanks Nico!
Would love to see more home tours. 😊
Noted!
LOL. You guys should consider selling houses. You two are naturals at a new-build tour!
Ive seen nice ass houses over there under 800k anything north of Mendocino county you can find nice houses under 1million problem is very isolated your phone won’t get signal all the time
Love your content! Since it takes so long to get a job at Kaiser. How much in advance do you feel someone should apply? How is the market for nurses looking to bridge to the ER or OR? Thank you.
Kaiser does not train anyone or cross train. At ALL! So if you want to work in O.R it’s best you do it at another hospital.
Listen to what the other commenter said. Get your experience in the specialty you want before you apply to work at Kaiser because they're known for not valuing nurses' curiosity into other specialties. So, get at least 6 months to 1 year of experience (preferably 1 year) and then start applying.
@@clpg6348 wow, didn’t know that. They never offer new grad or bridge programs?
Team master bathroom Tub 🛁!!
I knew there'd be some, haha.
There is a reason KB is 500-600k a home and other builders charging 800-900k a home you get what you pay for.
Hey Jason - if I purchase a spreadsheet, if the info updates a few years from now (when I’m done with nursing school) will the excel sheet update to the latest one?? Or is it best to wait until I’m closer to graduate and move??? Thx
I currently use wix as a web host and it limits downloads to 30 days but if you purchase any spreadsheet, you get an email with a link to the pdf that contains another link that takes you to the most updated spreadsheet. As long as you save the pdf, you can always go back to it and click on the link within it, or you can always email me and I can send you an updated version.
I should also mention that I am working on a course/mentorship program and will be including the spreadsheets (every single one of them, and any future files I create) for free to all who pay for the program.
Can you make vadio about nursing travel
trying being a nurse in philippine ? will you be the top 3 percent /
Horrible traffic. Do you want to be stuck on a freeway with downtown traffic and CSU traffic tram?
Is it always sunny and hot where you two are? I couldnt hack that hot weather all the time
It's sunny for about 7-8 months of the year and cloudy/rainy the other 4-5 months. But 3 out of the sunny months can feel unbearably hot for some people (us included).
Nice, but what about Mella-Roos taxes? Because it can definitely hurt your finances, especially since it goes up each year as the value of your home goes up.
Facts
Been trying to get my transfer to Kaiser out there, but keep getting denied 😅😅😅
Hi! I am a nurse from Britain with 10 years of experience in ICU. Does Keiser recruit international nurses as per ''direct hire''?
No they don't, unless they are in dire need to fill positions.
Nice!
Thanks!
🎉 good some parts are not expensive in California
Exactly.
is $55.49 a good pay for fresno california for someone with 5years nursing experience?
That's average for Fresno, but I wouldn't consider it "good" pay.
i wanna live there lol
are you still doing dropshipping business?
please can anyone give me information about fresno california, i got a job offer there
Listen to the last caller in our most recent livestream. He and his wife left Fresno because they knew they could make more money in the Sacramento area.
@NursesToRiches thanks for this,i am currently working in Uk although i am a Nigerian, and will need visa sponsorship, so i was thinking of accepting the offer at fresno to atleast get into california and then switch from there.
or is it possible for me to get jobs with visa sponsorship directly at sacramento?
@@chimeziechiamaka6951just go with your plan and then move up after you finish getting all your docs! Welcome in advance to the us of A
Kaiser does not offer sponsorships, unfortunately.
Stay away from KB homes. I lost my earnest money with them because their completion date kept being pushed to the right. And DR homes as well. 13 years ago, I got a Saint Auburn home in Colorado for over 3000ft for 260k and six bedrooms. 1600 feet is not worth it unless a starter home.
That explains the poor carpentry and faux drawer falling off in the bathroom. Lol.
Yall not moving to nyc anymore?
Yes but we have to wait until our business income replaces our nursing income, which will hopefully be before our son starts kindergarten.
@@NursesToRicheswhy are you moving to NYC? I thought you love Cali?
We made a video addressing that question but ultimately it boils down to wanting our son near our family. We have no one here in California and we have a very large but close family in the NYC area. Traveling back and forth to see them is cumbersome and expensive.
Shout out to all my SAC-TOWN peeps :D
so if everyone became a nurse what would the state do lol .
Yeah Elk Grove is nice. Far from the bay
How quickly the price was stated at 600k instead of 500k. And who cares about diversity? You wont find diversity in the Dominican Republic or in asian countries I lived in. What counts is the safety and the neighborhood will grow.
Agreed. Safety, schools, and growth are paramount. However human beings are tribal. If you are the only family of a different race religion or ethnicity you will stand out and possibly be mistreated or ostracized.
@@Nico-ys6oc I grew up in the South Bronx and in the 70s we had the last of whites that lived in our neighborhood and all the blacks and Puerto Ricans were cool with them. It wasn’t like West Side Story then lol.
@@fortgrove3166 I think those Gringos are different from the one out here in the sticks! We really vibed with them in NY but in NorCal (outside of Bay)-its a lil eerie feeling.
@@Momnicat I guess you cant find that utopia everywhere in blue state Cali lol. In my subdivision here in Texas, its all types, mostly Mexican buy you have indians from India, Africans and whites mixed together. Mostly military families and vets as well in San Antonio.
I have lived in Elk Grove since 2015. The area is growing rapidly and does not have the infrastructure to sustain it. There are not enough main roads leading in and out of the town so the streets are congested almost any time of day or night. It’s hotter than heck outside 6-7 months out of the year. You can only exercise outside in the early morning because the temperature outside doesn’t cool off even well into the night. You better hope your A/C doesn’t go out in the middle of July. There are homeless encampments throughout Sacramento County and South Sacramento is ghetto and boarders Elk Grove. Watch KCRA for crime news and homicides. If you want to pay half a million dollars for a average house with no backyard come join us! But don’t forget to bring your $120,000 to put on the house you’ll likely be paying a mortgage of $4,000+. The local hospitals can’t even adequately provide health services to the current population. Please inform people responsibly. Elk Grove, Sacramento, California in general is not the cream of the crop!
I agree! They don’t know much about Elk Grove
I didn’t even get into the small town BS of cops posting up to ticket drivers and cameras at intersections to ticket drivers who fail to stop behind the line. The cops are ticketing just to generate money for the town. They also post up at new schools and ticket parents just trying to pick up and drop off their kids. Not saying they didn’t violate a traffic law but it’s overboard to the point of harassment IMO. Sacramento County has the craziest and most reckless drivers that’ll literally drive in your lane and try to run you off the road. Serious road rage! The Governor has ran the golden state into the ground with a huge deficit. Schools don’t even have a art program unless parents fund it. Streets have terrible potholes now, roads aren’t being maintained. However, what I do love about Elk Grove are the parks, there are numerous beautifully landscaped parks in every community. I have four parks in walking distance in my neighborhood. I know everyone’s experience is different but I don’t think it’s fair to sugarcoat SAC as if it’s paradise; it has it’s issues too like every area.
You all must not have ever lived in a major city. I am born/raised in SoCal and it’s impossible to find many cities that have infrastructure to support them or no homeless people. The point is to inform people that it’s possible to make a great income and afford a home in a relatively good neighborhood. I can assure of this, I will never be able to buy a home where I’m at here in SoCal. I’m grateful they’re sharing this information and I believe they’ve been very honest. They’re driving around in front of us. They showed a homeless encampment. They haven’t been dishonest at all. We each have our own perspective on life and our surroundings…the point is if you want to live in California, it’s not impossible.
@@eliza_kai I appreciate your post. Yes we all have our own perceptive and experiences. I agree it’s good to know that there are areas to buy a house in California if that’s what you want to do. I’m just not sure why they chose to highlight Elk Grove when they don’t even live here. There are several other cities in Sacramento County and Placer County that have newer homes like Roseville (Placer), Rancho Cordova, Natomas (district of Sacramento), City of Sacramento, Antelope etc. with safe neighborhoods. In these other cities you’ll probably find new homes with more square footage for your buck and decent size backyards. Well, good luck to you!
Your better off moving to texas or red state . The weather is the same in elk grove lol . Your buying power will be better . Yeah being a nurse i hate to say dose not help the standard of living over all . It all service industry . It not going to bring up the standard of living for most people. We need to become a manufacturing export county again like Germany . California is ending up like Venezuela with all the social program and being tax . California is 77 billion inot the red . lol .
i couldn't disagree more. been to texas to visit friends. boring af there. you can buy a nice house there sure but not worth it if i am always bored there tho no place interesting to travel there .FYI the weather isnt the same in texas, they are humid and tornadoes are common there. too hot in texas
