Perfect, low maintenance desert landscaping decorated with a gorgeous variety of grapevines, pines, eucalyptus, blooming desert willow, and Joshua trees.

I've been in the desert since 97 and know it well.

The SBA was giving grants, but the funds dried up faster than a mirage in the desert.

Beaches, San Diego, LA etc yes but not Inland Empire and Desert towns.

@Niko Rossley If you are committed to starting with 10K, this is a strategy I've heard people using in the desert areas east of LA:Look for older mobile homes that are for sale by owner.

@Dan A.We invest out in the CV desert by Palm Springs.

I'm a land broker who focuses on southern California, both urban infill development sites in Los Angeles, and also "green field" development in the more suburban markets like the Inland Empire and desert markets.

@Brittani Kathryn Come to the high desert where you could find an affordable property with an in law or maybe a small multi.

John, I may be in touch about further desert specific questions.

Hey everyone, I am Jose my wife and I just purchased our first house that we plan on house hacking here in Yucca Valley CA.We bought a 3/2 sfh, it was purchased with a 100% ltv loan with no pmi.The way the home is setup is basically the master bedroom is connected to a guest suite, that we plan on living in while we rent out the remaining house.We are looking forward to renting it out, and to meeting more local investors here in the high desert area.
