I'm looking to build a team of contractors to work on flips and repairs in Bakersfield, CA. Does anyone have any recommendations? 

@Eric Irvine - I am ok on lending, thank you. 

@Bryant Brislin - Going to message you. Thank you. 

@Austin Beveridge - Going to message you. Thank you. 

I am in contact with a seller in California and in need of a Purchase Agreement and Assignment of contract in California. Is there anyone that can help? 

Thanks! 

@Shandy Victory - I live in Bakersfield, it seems to be a strong market to invest in. There is a lot of change coming with new and updated development, and the rental market is strong. It has a much more affordable entry point ($) than San Jose or the rest of the Bay Area. Are you looking for cash flow, or appreciation? Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in the local market. Good luck on your search! 

@Brendan S. - The price point in Lake Isabella might be better, but the insurance might be outrageous due to it's very high propensity to experience yearly fires in the summer. There are only a couple of roads in and out of that community, and it's historically been very dry there. My folks have rentals there and I am an agent in Bakersfield. I would definitely recommend more of the Bakersfield and surrounding areas, without going to the lake. Please reach out if I can be of any assistance. 

@Alexandru Guna - I am an agent in Bakersfield. If you decide to look outside of your market, please let me know if I can be of any help to you. I have encouraged lots of new investors to consider house hacking, or buying outside of their area, if the numbers make sense. Good luck in your search!

Is there a university nearby, where students might want housing? My son has a girlfriend who moved to Arizona, and advertised for roommates on a university page, or something. I could get more details, if it helps. 

@Uzma Abdullah - I think buying a multi-family in Irvine that you could live in could be great!
