Desert Rat Real Estate is a great one. 

If looking in Palm Desert, from what I've found, the closer you are to the Paseo, the better.

A super landlord/STR friendly state with multiple areas that are diversely different, from desert to mountains to lakes to rivers.....tons of touristy areas with low population centers, perfect for STRs.

Found a restaurant bar on the water that was nearly deserted. 

I am up in the high desert in Pinon Hills near Wrightwood.

Looks as though my father was able to find a piece of the desert in a flood zone :)Now to find out what it may be worth....

Desert Colors is a new AWESOME looking development that has popped up since we moved on but, again, I believe you're stuck using a pre-assigned property manager there that will take 30% off the top and it ain't exactly cheap to buy in.

For all its worth and a plug here for Vegas as the real estate market is back and is as hot again as the desert sands.

I have found one exactly like that up in Desert Ridge, but everything I have found here in the SE Valley has been moderated by someone with coaching or education to sell and has asked to put me on a sales prospecting list.  

Looking to buy SFR in the lower price range, preferably south of Sahara and west of Decatur all the way to the far Southwest.
