I remember when I was selling fix and flips at New Western and a large amount of the properties we sold were in the Inland Empire, mostly Eastvale, Fontana, and Ontario.

That's a discounted price for landlords who are under Empire Property Management (my mgmgnt company).

I had them in land trusts with the LLC as beneficial interest.

Not to mention, sellers jump on cash offers first.If you’re trying to build an empire, you would absolutely have to put the minimum down on every property.

If you are wanting to build an empire of single family homes, find those investors. 

We own our properties in land trusts so if you look on public record, you won't see MapleStar's name anywhere and MapleStar Property Management LLC is the property manager.  

And other amazing values.My dream is to specialize in land.

Todd, I'm not a developer but I'm in the industry offering software and services specifically in land development and thus talk to many developers, home builders, and investors so I hear a wide variety of strategies across the country. 

But if it provides a quick way to get from inland to the cities where the jobs are, it could make it a lot more feasible for people to commute in from the valley.If I wanted to really make a play on this, I would probably buy a big swath of land that is not great for agriculture (so can get a good deal on it for it's current low utility), that would have reasonable high-speed rail access next to an established city - maybe something like Merced.

Hi all, I just acquired a 5 acre lot in Landers, CA (Joshua Tree NP area).
