You get stranded on a deserted island.

If this one doesn't work out I'm done with PM and will just start burying jars of $ in the desert or something.

You could try to find someone willing to owner finance but those are uncommon and more likely to be found in the desert or the mountains in San Bernardino county.

However, I live in a desert with very low humidity.  

Although, you are somewhat protected since you will be living in a unit. 21120 Santa Maria Drive, Tehachapi, CA 935612841 Desert Street A,B,C, Rosamond, CA 93560Here is one in Tehachapi and one in Rosamond that you could check out.

If I went to the desert, it would leak.

Hello to everyone! I'm one of the new kids on the block here in BP and in RE investing. My husband and I have been studying and setting up our business in the last few months, and our minds are spinning from all there...

I have been in this town for years and very active in this market and few other states.If you look back before the BOOM years (03-07)Vegas has always had a flat market and cheap housing.Most people are in service industry in the town and are living based off tips, income hasn't and was never changed it was only the pricing that went off the proof, unemployment is high and housing is where it really needs to be.CHEAP Housing in the DESERT!

I've been thinking about purchasing probate properties in the San Diego, South Riverside (Temecula, Murietta, Hemet, Palm Desert/Springs desert area and South Orange County.

Now the I.E. and High Desert there are still opportunities.
