For those who have never visited the desert in the summer, imagine opening your oven and feeling a blast of warm air hit your face.

I just found it hard to believe there were such high water uses in the desert.

We have a lot of interest from individuals in Los Angeles as well as nationally as people are looking to escape colder climates to a secluded desert retreats like ours.

its not like any of those areas one of the big draws is golf and just living in the high desert with a ton of sun.

Actually, when I first started in 2008, I bought two single families in Desert Hot Springs (near Palm Springs).

I am originally from Barstow, CA which is in the HOT Mojave Desert. 

@CJ Berina I don't see any buildable land going for $500 it would be land in the middle of the desert, the only other people who would buy it would be other investors looking to flip it, I would be very cautious investing this way.

In this case "R" stands for rural, as some of these zip codes include quite a lot of open desert-scape.Generally speaking: anything in the city proper (River Rd -> Golf Links | Oracle -> Wilmot) is going to have a higher prevalence of rental properties than the periphery, although Sierra Vista is a respectable 8th place with nearly 100 of their own rental property options. 

Looking to meet up with any active investors in the Coachella Valley, Palm Springs/ Palm Desert area!

Landscaping is usually desert style - rocks with a few hardy plants.
