I was wondering if there was any kind of strategy that investors are implementing for these types of properties in Californian tertiary cities like Modesto, Stockton, Fresno, and etc? 

(Based on initial thoughts, area id look into are Sacramento, Modesto, Stockton.

I have looked at several deals in the Modesto area.

Here in Modesto it really feels like the properties are going for much more than would be profitable as a rental so we're looking at other areas around the country.

@Crystal Ng, I currently invest in Vegas and I'm also from California about 30 mins from Modesto.

Modesto, California - 812 violent crimes per 100,00041.

starting in 2017 the 417k is going up to 424,100 so you got a 7,100 boost.It may not do much in Orange County or Los Angeles county but it goes a long way in Bakersfield, banning, Stockton, Modesto, and other parts of CA.

The facts are that the prices are not inline with the salaries of all in that marketplace, which is why so many people work there, but migrate out to Tracy, Stockton, Patterson, Modesto, Sacramento, etc., for living, where the prices are a bit easier on the wallet.
