Buy a High Desert STR and Write Off Up to 90% of Your Investment.
Short-term rental–ready homes built for income, appreciation, and major tax savings.
Why Investors Are Focusing on the High Desert Market
Year-Round Demand:
Steady Airbnb bookings driven by tourism to Joshua Tree National Park and SoCal weekenders.
Rising Property Values: Double-digit appreciation rates over the past few years.
Low Entry Costs: Lower price per square foot than coastal areas with equal or higher returns.
Strong Rental Yields: High occupancy and nightly rates make STRs cash-flow positive quickly.
What We Look for in High-Performing STR Investments
We specialize in sourcing short-term rental properties that produce strong income, qualify for major tax advantages, and meet the needs of both new and seasoned investors. While our next wave of listings is being prepared, here’s how we evaluate every STR opportunity we recommend.
1. Strong STR Performance Indicators
We look for homes with high nightly-rate potential, reliable guest demand, and features travelers consistently book (design-forward interiors, privacy, outdoor amenities, hot tubs, views, etc.).
2. STR-Friendly Zoning & Permits
Homes must be located in areas with stable short-term rental rules. We prioritize markets where permitting is clear and investor-friendly.
3. Income + Appreciation Potential
We evaluate expected occupancy, seasonal demand, and local appreciation trends to ensure the property performs both as an income asset and long-term hold.
4. Turnkey or Near-Turnkey Readiness
We focus on properties that require little to no setup — ideally furnished or easily made guest-ready.
Write Off Up to 90% of Your STR Purchase in Year One
Through cost segregation and bonus depreciation, investors can deduct a large portion of their property’s improvement value, sometimes up to 85–90% — in the first year.
This reduces taxable income and increases real returns, making STR ownership one of the most tax-efficient investments available.
Act now — these tax benefits are ending soon.
