What are good reasonable cheap areas to invest in California?

[Michael Guydish]

I am a beginner and I want to do my first deal next Summer or two. What are some good markets to look in CA. I understand that living near the ocean wont be reasonable for my first deal. I was looking at areas like Sac, Fresno/Clovis, San Bernadino, or Redding. I do plan to house hack but, Im just in a pickle on location. Can anyone provide me with info on how to analyze if a market is a good market to invest in numbers wise? Especially in CA. Where and how to run numbers etc. Thank you!
