McFarland is a small farming town in Kern County along Highway 99, widely known from the film about its championship high school cross-country teams and their farmworker roots. Agriculture is the lifeblood here, with almonds, grapes, and row crops surrounding the town and packing operations providing seasonal work. Downtown McFarland forms the compact commercial and residential core, South McFarland holds established neighborhoods, the Sherwood corridor carries residential and ag-service uses, and the Highway 99 corridor anchors the town's connection to Delano and Bakersfield. Modest, value-tier housing keeps investment entry prices low.
Fidelity Funding is a direct, asset-based lender, so a McFarland investor works with the people who approve the loan rather than a distant committee. We underwrite the property and the exit instead of a thick income file, and we routinely close in five to ten business days. Whether you are rehabbing an older Downtown McFarland home, holding a DSCR rental for the farmworker base, or bridging a small commercial building along Highway 99, our capital fits this small valley market.
McFarland's combination of $228K-range housing basis and steady working-population rental demand produces some of the cleaner DSCR yields in California.
Most McFarland files we fund are DSCR rental holds against a $228K-range entry basis with steady working-population tenant demand. Local pocket coverage includes Downtown McFarland, South McFarland, Sherwood corridor, Highway 99 corridor and adjacent McFarland submarkets.
