STR in Desert Hot springs, Ca what are the risks and rules
I did airbnb in NYC for over 5 years, and thinking of doing short term rentals. I read they are allowed in Desert Hot Springs and have been
looking at mobile homes and condos there. My sister said there were a lot of gangs and some crime it being noted for drugs?
I don't want to end up with bad tenants bringing in large groups, and destroying the property. Is there a airbnb management
company that will screen tenants and handle the housekeeping? Since I'm new to the desert don't want to "lose my shirt"

Hey @Willert Morris, here is some info on the crime there.

Looks pretty dangerous in a lot of the area.
