Hi T-bone77,

Please see below. Maybe there is some information in there for you too.
Good luck.

[i]Hi Jenn,
I just signed up about 15 minutes ago and read your post.
I live in California too (Claremont) and I happened to come across some investment opportunities you might want to check into.
I recently visited Salton City (at the Salton Sea). They intend to 'fix up' the lake and surrounding area and make it a booming place. Plans are already in place. You can check out the official sites on Google.
In that area are a number of gorgeous, INEXPENSIVE, houses (for instance around $265,000 for a NEW 3BR/2BA/2CAR 1700 sqft, large yard house, extremely well insulated. Most houses also have all appliances).
Then there are a large number of lakeside lots available for around $30,000.
I think it is all well worth the money and if I had any, I would have bought a bunch of them!!
If you want to know more (I found some sites that sell), let me know.
Good luck.
Joyce
P.S. I am not in any way associated with any of the above; I just happened to come across it. [/i]
