Thank you so much @Krystle Padilla This will definitely help with my decision making process.  I've received more information here than from my realtor.

Thank you @Jo-Ann Lapin .  I am also concerned about the resale value. The asking price is a bit high for my liking, looking at the comps. The only advantage that it has is the lot size. 

My husband thinks eventually interest will push east due to the high demand in YV/JT.  It would be nice to see the community develop.

Thank you @Sean McDonnell for the advice! Unfortunately, YV/JT has limited inventory. 

There is some Airbnb action in the area. Both the Twenty Nine Palms Inn and Roughley Manor have great reviews. I'll take a look at the occupancy rates. 

Do the military families ever live off base? It definitely has long-term potential.  What would be the best way to market to military families?

Hi Everyone, 

I'm a real estate newbie about to make my first purchase in 29 palms.  Any member have experience with the 29 palms area as a short-term rental? 

My husband and I plan on using it as a short-term rental and vacation home. We are leaning towards the 29 palms purchase because of the size of the property and proximity to the National Park entrance. 

However, I've heard some conflicting sentiments about the area.   Either people love it or hate it (drugs, petty theft).
