I own single family and multi-family in the inland empire and high desert.

Born and bred in north-central Ohio - after graduating high school and serving in the USAF during Desert Storm in the early 90's, I jumped on the IT bandwagon where I've been employed for the last 20 years.

I live about 40 minutes from SB and have been looking for multi-family property to buy, but San Bernardino and the high desert (Victorville, Adelanto, Hesperia) have such high vacancy rates that rents have fallen quite a bit.Another creative option is to put up a sign with flyers, like you see on a house for sale.

Long term, I'm very pessimistic for homes outside the "loop 101", when the economy improves, and gas goes over $5 again, those homes will be in a desert ghetto - your potential tenants will be spending more for gas than rent.

@Sharon Tzib its in a remote area just south west of Desert hot Springs, there are no comps for 2-3 miles, and it's the only house in 10 miles on a dirt road.

Following this discussion to see what feedback you get.I have a MFR in the high desert (first investment).

For those that don't know, Rancho Cucamonga is in the High Desert of California, on the highway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

It has taken +30 years to develop Manchester from a deserted Milltown to something with a moderately desirable economic engine behind it.

That’s easy in the desert regions in NV,AZ,UT.

Hi Sarah,I currently live in the Desert Shores community of Summerlin.
