@Steven Torres, the Bakersfield market still have deals that are fundamentally sound in terms of cash flow.  There is a ton of growth right now also. Investors from So Cal and the central coast have driven up prices of small muti units properties so it can be changing to find the right deal. 

@Leilani L., Color change is actually a big deal for Mammoth, that that may help in the early fall. I personally invest in the Southern Sierra foothills so winter is the slow season here. 

Affordable mountain towns can do really well.  I have run short term rentals in the sierras and I have friends with a place in Big Bear that is doing really well.

Hi @Kristyn Sanchez,  Good to meet you. There is a fairly active group of investors in the Bakersfield here on Bigger Pockets.  You can search "Bakersfield" to see recent and past threads. We also have a local meet up group.  We used to meet at Rusty's Pizza but with covid it is now on zoom.  There are over 800 investors in the meetup group and the meetings always have a good showing.  I personally invest mostly in the communities around Lake Isabella (45 minutes into the mountains from Bakersfield), but my inspection service works in Bakersfield so I am in Bakersfield several time a week.  The market is hot right now.  Rents and prices are way up. Bakersfield still has cashflow potential and it is the growth story of California.  

@Brandon Carlson, I mostly invest in the Kern River Valley but I work in Tehachapi weekly.  The market has changed a lot in the last 4 years.  Spec builders are doing well with the current numbers.  

@Dalia Darwish, I don't know of anyone that provides a complete "turn key" solution in Bakersfield.  I know @Sanjeev Advani helps a lot of out of town investors find suitable properties and handles management. 

Hi Javier,
