There's a pretty steady pool of healthcare professionals coming to the area for 3 month contract work.

Swim spas or indoor pools became the newest trend.

@Sunny Yu, an undeeded interest is still an interest in the real estate.

I just looked on an MLS site, and there's a triplex near downtown for $315K.You could also look at Shasta County, but your tenant pool will be a bit iffy-er (is that a word?). 

My neighbors have since joined the Airbnb gang and they make around $75k a year with a pool which used to be $120k NET a couple years ago before a little saturation.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

"Fixer-uppers" have a bit of a smaller pool of buyers but if they are priced right and marketed well they will still sell (usually they have "as-is" language in the listing, like "price based on condition").
