From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist.

The high desert can be a very profitable market for the savvy investor.

We live in the desert (high 90s, low 100s temp).

The house sits on one of the many artificial lakes here in the desert, and was built in 1993.

@Jacob Sugar - do you know how you cross a desert?

Dry desert area with high winds but when it storms it can flood. 

Flag is good because it gets you up into that whole area with the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, 4 corners, Monument Valley, Petrified Forest Nat Park, Rte 66, Lakes Mead and Powell, Sycamore Canyon, etc, etc.....Go 40 miles south and you have all of the neat towns like Jerome, Prescott, Cottonwood, Sedona, etc....Yavapai County is more user friendly while Cococino County is less, but AZ has a law in place to limit restrictions against STRs, so you're probably ok anywhere.Sounds like a road trip is in order.

I just got back from a small seminar in palm desert put on by reo prep (www.*******.com), and it seems that between the increasing reo's and short sales there is still quite a bit of business out there to be obtained for newer agents.
