I mean legally if course, not a drive in the desert..... 

I've lived in the High Desert of CA for a good portion of my life and yes, I have come across some apartments that do not provide a refrigerator. 

I have one through Desert Financial Credit Union.

It seems to me we are due for a small correction of 10-20%, and unless you go way out in the upper desert, I can't sniff of anything that would be a positive cash flow opportunity,and I don't think it is a good time to be hunting appreciation here.

For the uninitiated, Slab City is 600 acres of public land in the CA desert that is policed by residents if at all.

"I live in the middle of the Arizona desert and my whole ranch got flooded!"

You can’t use these numbers unless you own stucco sided, tile roofed, 10 year old SFR in the desert. 

Property taxes and insurance are a direct hit on the bottom line.Dependable passive income properties are affordable - The current sweet spot for single-family and townhouse investment properties is between $320,000 and $475,000.Low maintenance cost - Las Vegas properties have low maintenance costs due to the construction materials required by the Mojave Desert's climate.

@Rohin Dhar, Joshua Tree and the high desert in general is a hot market.
