Is there any way to keep it for the long-term potential, or am I just beating a dead horse?

Hi Kusum,Wonderful responses some of these helpful folks gave above so don't want to beat a dead horse but....I will be operating under a few assumptions:I am operating under the assumption that you would like a neighborhood that is more or less safe for yourself or a relative to walk around the area with the young ones.

Deepa Akula Ummmmmm...cart before the horse.

Looks like I was putting the cart before the horse.

People will flock to you.Cart - horse ** cart before the horseFind house = horseFind team = CartFind house, then find team

Not only does this property have two mobile homes but raw land where my dad has his horses, and where he parks his horse trailers, tractors etc. in order to sell it we would have to sell the property as a whole. these rentals though in great shape and being updated would be classified as lower income properties. 

Sometimes we horse trade -- I won't bid against you for that property, you won't bid against me for this one.

(military isn't bad, but new leases every year or so from what I've heard and very few casino workers as the closest one to yucca valley is 29 palms)I have found the area to be very misunderstood - as people driving by assume meth labs, sex offenders and neonazis  ---  when instead you find millionaire horse/animal lovers, older retirees who feel like they have found shangri-la, and an increasing amount of younger LGBT creative folks re-creating identity in the serenity of the desert. also, $15/hr minimum wage law is underway - going up $1 a year until $15 in 2020. 

Also being awakened by them has been spectacular - nothing beats being jarred awake at 6:15am by a toddlers screaming at the top of their lungs horse playing in the front yard.

Examples: New Lally columns and footings in the basement to replace temp. columns, 48 sheets of blue board and plaster in rooms that didn’t need any mechanical work but had bad horse hair plaster.
