anybody savvy on buying vacant land Southern California Desert?
I am new to the game and I have very little capital to start. So i am considering starting out by buying vacant land in strategic locations around southern Cali and holding on until i can flip it for a profit. Also interested in buying land with an old foundation and or tiny house on it. Then fix the house and do short term rentals. Is there anyone out there with this type of experience? Any one out there in the BP world that knows where i can get started doing something like this?

I've bought land in the SoCal desert so I have some experience. Where are you looking and what is your end game? You mention Short term? It will be a very different market out there unless you're talking about Joshua Tree, which is a whole different game. Do you really want something in the middle of the desert?
