Kinda like saying, I'm thinking of investing in some desert land, you know, Vegas?

With offices closed, restaurants closed etc it’s quite deserted.

D class may be a bit of a food desert.

We were seriously considering going with his plan, and still may, but our progress on this step was disrupted by some medical issues, then by our decision to move from the balmy climate of So Cal's desert, to the balmier (IMO) world of Atlanta. 

Today, I decided would be a good day to take a drive around Minneapolis and look for properties that seem to be deserted or vacant for two reasons:1.

I'm glad I caught that early this year so I can start reserving for it.I like land in the Arizona desert because 1) I know I won't be buying an abandoned house that costs more to repair than it's worth; and 2) It's all sand and tumbleweed so if they are redeemed, I don't have to worry about the city fining me or having liens on the property for overgrown weeds :)Interest rate is 16% this year though it seems lately you end up in a loss position after the lawyer charges fees for noticing (that $20 in interest is offset by a $100 legal bill for notice of redemption prior to filing in court).

I'm currently working on a few deals in Palm Desert, CA, but it looks like I may have gotten it all wrong.

These are the people that brought you the last housing crisis, FEMA, deficit spending, endless wars in the desert a 55,000 page tax code. 

If you drive through a 30 mile desert every day, and can't check your oil by yourself, you probably shouldn't get a 200k mile beater.

Im new to RE investing from the high desert CA looking to network with wholesellers, investors, flippers/rehab, developers from the surrounding areas.
