So maybe this is their test and realize they better move back to a "simpler" place than the edge of the desert...

Isn't it where Lex Luther buy's up a bunch of the Nevada desert and then uses some earthquake machine to dump CA into the Pacific and then is "the" R.E. goliath of now primo ocean front?! 

Desert Hot Springs, CA. 

For warmth..a lot of clients are expanding to Desert Hot Springs/Joshua Tree CA and a few hidden gems on the radar in unincorporated Ventura County :)  

My Plan from here is to end up with one Residence and one Rental and get back to my houses in Brazil to fix them up to sell, one at a time and move to the North of Brazil where it is desert like with two seasons.

I'm prepared to look elsewhere if I have to: inland empire, high desert, central valley...4-unit or fewer multi-family appears to be a good fit.

Sahara desert by behr, painted to death around here!

Now I know some brokers here in our area will rep desert properties and costa rica etc etc..

What if you hate the Desert in 5 years?

I have not invested in Globe, but I have look at deals there, but I have invested in Nogales, Florence and Douglas which are very desert, small towns, when I drop $450k in Douglas my partners taught I was crazy, buying a 12 units, well I was crazy happy that I was Cash flowing great money and now just sold it, so I bought in Nov 2011 $450k sold in March 2016 $670k which made me a bit happy, never put a penny into it either. ( my partners now call me desert king and I like the term )
