I am interested in the real estate market in Bakersfield CA.

I am a newbie, and looking to purchase my first property within the next year. I am interested in buying either a single family residence or a 2-4 unit multi-unit property. I may also be relocating to the area and if so will be looking at house hacking as well.

I currently live about 2 hours away in Santa Maria, CA.

How is the Bakersfield market in general? Which areas of the city should be avoided and which areas offer good investment opportunities?

Also I am interested in connecting with agents and lenders in the area and if there are any local meetups?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I live in Orcutt and am saving up for my first deal. I will be looking first at investing in Santa Barbara County as I am considering a house hack for my first deal.

@Will Sholy

I am a newbie and am barely learning how to evaluate properties. I have noticed that there are many homes in Taft that are very affordable and plan on keeping my eye on the market in Taft.
