During the first year, I spent $250,000 of my money installing PEX and copper pipes in every unit, new drain pipes in the walls and under the building, new windows in never unit, remodeled 5 units, new sewer to the street, removed all the trees and plants and spent a fortune removing the lawns and installing concrete base and rocks and a lot more.So, I wasn't really enthused about owning this property because I thought I paid too much money and I did not care for the neighborhood.

The home is on a premium lot that backs up to a green belt with about 10 trees that shade the front and backyard.

I am trying to buy my first investment property in Joshua Tree, California and BRRRR but with short term rental instead of long term.

I'm looking into purchasing a home in either Joshua Tree or Yucca Valley and using it as a short-term rental.

Climbing up and down three story ladders to measure and install is not my cup of tea.

Or, imagine two people sleeping in the room and spray 1/2 gallon on water on the walls every night.Another problem we run into that brings moisture into a house is when outside the house has trees or shrubs that are against the walls.

@Tea RussellWelcome to Bigger Pockets!

Trying to wholesale mls properties is barking up the wrong tree, for multiple reasons.

Trees everywhere, maybe sell the trees to a timber company, the listing agent told me that not too long ago a timber company offered $100k not bad.I am interested to split the land and sell them as is (around 1 acres it’s about $100k there but you can split with a minimum of 5 acres) or develop them and sell them tbd but also create a small village like an  old time western town with tiny homes (sherif, post, saloon, ...) where you can stay and rent them out on airbnb I saw someone who did that in Montana and all summer it is rented for $260/night per house and each house cost $80k).Also thinking to do a campground on an area and use Hipcamp potentially.The price of $900k looks very cheap.

Trees over roof at minimum mean probably 2x per year gutter cleaning, but also pose issues in storms.
