Dorris is Siskiyou County's northernmost town, sitting on the high, open floor of Butte Valley near the Oregon line along Highway 97 and known for its towering American flag on one of the West's tallest freestanding flagpoles. It is farming and ranching country, built around potato, hay, and cattle operations, with a compact Downtown Dorris grid and homes spreading south and out toward the Butte Valley agricultural land. Prices are among the lowest in California, and buyers here are drawn by cheap land, wide-open space, and proximity to the Klamath Basin's waterfowl and outdoor recreation.
Fidelity Funding lends directly across northern California and is comfortable with the agricultural collateral and remote locations that define a market like Dorris.

We close in five to ten business days, lend up to 90% of purchase plus rehab, and offer DSCR options for long-term holds. Reach a decision-maker directly at (877) 300-3007.
