Looking to build in baja in a desert area where water is trucked in no city lines or way to drill well.

I plan to rent BnB for as long as the market allows while maintaining a viable sale exit down the road.I'm also still deciding between stick vs. modular and am leaning towards modular for energy efficiency (title 24/desert/off grid), quick timeline (builders in the area are booked 6-12 months), and ease of oversight.  

Also Coachella Valley, Palm Springs, Palm Desert, etc.

Although Los Angeles is literarily built in a desert (and currently experiencing severe drought conditions), over the next 30 years, an increasing number of properties are at risk of flooding.

Scottsdale was runner up but I lived in a desert before and I can't handle 120 degrees!

We kept a piece of property in SoCal, way out in the desert, middle of nowhere.

My wife and I have been coming to the desert for over a decade and have watched the community evolve and grow - there's a real shortage of rentals that will persist for years to come. 

For realtors who are also investors and have been in the business for awhile and know how to determine if a property will be a good rental, I would suggest Premier Point Realty which literally is a brokerage of investors, Homestead Realty (Nicole & Mike Borowski or Phoebe), Marcus Auerbach, Daniel B Milwaukey/Modern Milwaukey Realty, Saharah Ali (Sahara Sells) or Michael Baron who also owns PMI Property Management. 

Similar to others, I’m also considering other desert areas less saturated a well.

But buying a cash flowing mobile home park in the desert for $200k with a cap rate of 20% is interesting.
