MTR and STR in California

[Noelle Debruhl]

Does anyone have experience with mid-term or short - term rentals in Bakersfield  OR the Clearlake areas such as Kelseyville? I want to buy in California but can only go up to 400k, so those areas seem like good candidates for the price.  It seems like Palm desert has too many restrictions now. I am not expecting to make a whole ton of money but I would love to be able to cover my mortgage and expenses.
