He and a bunch of guys were sitting around in a tent in the desert, waiting for the coaster bus to take them to work.  

When I was in the Marines, I once spent a month in the Moroccan desert and we just dug beds in the hot sand, ate cold military rations, and bathed in the Atlantic, which is the most minimalistic that I've ever lived, but it was also one of the simplest and most joyous times of my life.

I sold a parcel of New Mexico desert land last year and I had it priced a little higher than this - but still in a similar ballpark.If you're buying it from a land flipper (someone who probably paid closer to $500 when they bought it from another motivated seller), $2,500 would be enough to give them a decent profit and you a great deal.

I just closed on a first lien position HELOC with Desert Financial Credit Union in Arizona. 2.99% for the 1st year.

I posted this link on another thread, but this is where I started the process of getting the STR permit for the unincorporated mountain or desert areas of San Bernardino county - https://wp.sbcounty.gov/ezop/p... 

I am planning to fix and flip old distressed properties in Desert Areas (Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indio, Indian Wells, Coachella Valley, Palm Springs etc.)Do you have any experience about getting an E2 visa via real estate investing?

The VIPs were also served breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks along with premium beer and fine wines and deserts on Friday and Saturday and Breakfast and Lunch on Sunday.

The desert cities here in So Cal will have better cash flow opportunities.

     $500k properties out in the desert south of Palm Springs drive $10k+ per month in average rents, if you set up the vacation rental right.  

I went to Chandler High and ASU. 5 generation desert rat.JO
