@Lee Ripma I totally agree, I like to think of Yucca Valley and Twentynine Palms as the mid-west of California because the prices are so low and investors see a better ROI especially with the Marine base and park visitors.

On the west coast I've noticed that we attract a LOT of foreign visitors in the summer (being 45 minutes from Yosemite National Park) and Airbnb is very popular in Europe and Asia, so that helps us keep booked solidly.

Did you make it clear that you intend to meet your obligations and pay rent through the end of the lease term if he doesn't find a suitable tenant before then? 

These tripe of properties are only suitable to, for lack of a better term, slum-lording.  

At eviction hearing:Tenant to Judge: I read online that he can't evict me because the unit is not suitable to live in and I used to pay the water bill.Judge: Did you consult an actual lawyer?

We get 13 million visitors a year (and that number continues to climb), so 1000's of cabins are NEEDED to accommodate all those tourists.

If you plan to buy and hold, you'll also need to have a suitable DTI ratio and a high enough credit score to obtain a loan.

They are very expensive mainly due to the cost to be in suitable fill dirt.$2500 for a water and sewer tap on the corner of your property to tie into is a steal!

What do you recommend for a durable floor on slab foundation that would be suitable for this income level?

I'm not sure what you mean by the price of the website; BiggerPockets is free for any visitor to read or ask questions.
