Any small towns in CA that cashflow?

[Sam Booth]

Currently out of state but wanting to diversify and get something semi local. Prices are falling a bit lately.

I am thinking Redding, Red Bluff, Oreville, Any small towns that are more affordable. I have been told to stay away from Clear lake. Anyone have any other suggestions? Love to get something that needs work that I can force equity in and turn into a long term rental. I am in Northern CA based in Sacramento but dont mind driving a few hours. Any advice would be great!

I've heard positive things about Fresno, but haven't done any research into it personally.
