HI Johnny,If you want to duplicate, you need to be able to get control of big things at low prices, fix them up, and run them so people desire them and that will make them worth more.Like woody wood pecker pounding your nose into the tree until it finally it turns into saw dust--work hard--doing whatever it takes--and never giving up.Also, it's not just what you know (that's important), it's who you know, and who knows you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

The property currently has a lot of trees on it/is undeveloped.

Heck, even $500k RVs are generally produced a solid 15 years behind the trends because their older audience prefers those styles, and manufactured homes are about 8 years behind--they'll still be making distressed shiplap 5 years from now even as everyone else goes to more elegant wood slats or more rustic bits that look like they were just hewn off a tree. 

Sounds like Maple trees .  

There is a tree within five feet of a property I have under contract.

Luckily I only had the very top 10 feet of the tree so I took care of it myself.

A tenant called and the tree in the yard fell....HUGE tree.

Tough Sh@t, they’re your trees.

I have bought timber ground in my IRA and solo k.. those trees just keep growing :)  so the value of the property APPRECIATES based on the trees getting bigger each year.. 

Because it's essentially a small town, there are limited resources - contractors, handymen, repair shops, hardware stores to deal with your maintenance issues, but it's not impossible.There is currently no public laundromat in 29 Palms, unless you have access to the base, so if you don't give tenants at least laundry hookups, they will have to drive about 14 miles to the laundromat in Joshua Tree.
