I grew up in New England so the wear and tear of the NM desert is foreign to me.4.

Their STR ordinance only allows STR in mountain and desert areas and does not allow it in MFR structures at all.

This is slow and steady, desert crossing quest, one step at a time, brick after brick.

I have tried a few of those, Redfin is my direct competition in most of the Zips I works, they only had leads waaaay out in the rural areas/desert, for Ojo we really need to be on the paid platform for quality leads, still trying Upnest, Have had success with Agent Pronto, OP city only sent low end land and mobile home leads which are time burners in this market, Homelight only partners with a few big teams here, Clever is on the list to try, fingers crossed thats a good one for SoCal

Here is the one I am flipping:https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/23685-N-Desert-Agave-St-F...I bought it for 235k and put about 25-30 into it.

I think first off what kind of money is involved here..  1 acre prime commercial worth 500k or 1 acre of high AZ desert worth 10k..

I found this week’s property and it looks like they a good job finding a property that is eye catching and potentially cash flowing:https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/73292-20th-Ave-Desert-Hot...Here are the numbers:https://www.bnbcalc.com/analysis/73292-20th-ave-desert-hot-s...What do you think of this investment opportunity?

In order to understand our market in the desert you have to be fully involved.

Prop tax's some of the lowest the country very low insurance stucco houses tile roofs and desert landscaping all lead to ease of maintenance over time compared to FLA which of course has all sorts of weather related issues that is detrimental to houses .. high prop tax and sky high insurance ( certain areas) But its also growing.. so there is that.

However if I were to see the listing on it's own with no background photos I wouldn't expect it to be a home in Sedona or even the desert southwest for that matter.
