People are realizing that the place has been a reluctant desert the entire time.  

While I don't recall that particular presentation, he has put much of his work on The Outspoken Investor site or the High Desert  REIA site.His program is not technical.

The Shark tank is to real venture capital, what Survivor is to being really stranded on a desert island.

I want to use real estate as a way to get back to that.I'm looking to connect with other real estate investors in the Inland Empire/High Desert(Riverside, San Bernardino County) area to learn more about and get involved in wholesaling, flipping, and buy and hold properties.

My last cold call was a success, using logic, facts, and a tiny bit of charm, I was able to do an off market deal on a deserted add value property. 

I remember listening to a bp speaker about how he converted a deserted mall into storage facility. 

Currently live in LA area and have a 2nd home/vacation home out in the desert.

Reading your entire post, forgive me for saying, but I sense you’re like a person stranded in the middle of the desert.

I'm looking to purchase a home in the California high desert to live in for a while then double as an Airbnb and looking for a creative way to finance a pool.

When you think of Flooding you do not consider the washouts that occur in the desert when there is a rain storm in the mountains and the bridges are washed away.
