I’m interested on cathedral city, palm desert and maybe Indio.

Real Estate investing is something that I have always been very interested in and "now" is the right time for me to finally jump in.In a perfect world, I would like to invest in my current community here in Southern California where I would be close to the properties, but I also understand that this might be difficult or impossible to find properties, which ultimately are cash positive.I am located specifically in Palm Desert, California with the neighboring communities of Palm Springs, Cathedral City, La Quinta, Indio and Coachella.We are a resort community with a major population influx between "season" and "off season" and with so many different investment options such as buy and hold (long term rental vs. short term vacation rental), flipping, etc., I'm really curious to find other people who may have either previously invested or currently invest within the Coachella Valley to see what has worked for them.I definitely want to explore all avenues that could work here locally before venturing out of the area, but I'm well aware that it might be a better idea to head out of state for better opportunities.I'm really looking forward to any input.Thanks in advance!

I am, however, looking at surrounding areas such as Cathedral City, Palm Desert, and Indio.

Investment Info:Condo other investment in Cathedral City.

I'll connect.For Palm Springs or Cathedral City and tons of other places in the desert, before looking to invest, even for retiree communities, MAKE SURE the park is not on Indian Land, or you will have to deal with the BIA and tribes - and  they have expensive lots and restrictive HOAs.

I paid $100 for a beat down house in Cathedral City, CA a few years ago.

I lived in Auckland and it is a beautiful city, cathedral cove and coromandel are great places to go up north. 

His second project was in the historic district of Joliet, IL known as "the Cathedral Area".

If its "walkable" then you need cathedral ceiling insulation system which is different.

Please note: Any prices that I quote, are probably high, as I live in Ct.I'm involved in a complete rehab.Removed everything, right down to the studs.Needed about 110 sheets of sheet rock installed, including a cathedral ceiling.One quote: $1200.Another quote $1300.Advertised on Craigslist,received a quote for $900., from a licensed, insured sheet rock installer.This was for the install only, did not include the taping, etc.Ray in Ct.
