Pros & Cons To Investing in Palm Springs / Joshua Tree

[David Lowe]

I am looking to invest in a vacation rental in Palm Springs or Joshua Tree. Palm Springs has a young visiting population and an increasing number of events. Joshua Tree prices are more affordable.

- What have you encountered in these areas?
- What are the Airbnb policies in place in Palm Springs and Joshua Tree?
- Would you recommend investing in any other areas of California close to here?

Palm Springs has a ton of rules and enforcement.  Read that ordinance in full, and call a couple of property management companies in the area to get their take.  I prefer other neighboring cities that are easier to work with personally.

Joshua Tree is not incorporated and therefore has no ordinance of it's own, but is under the jurisdiction of San Bernardino County.  http://cms.sbcounty.gov/lus/CodeEnforcement/ShortT...
