Lancaster is a hole. Imagine, a giant outdoor cesspool,
with very little water.
There is so much desert, houses are built at marginal cost,
and keep prices from rising except during the
decadal SoCal bubble.
I knew a guy (My GF’s brother) had a patio hosue in
Lancaster, was utterly underwater, for 6 years.
If you want to live dangerously find an out of state investor,
move in, don’t pay rent, delay as much as possible, wait until the banks
foreclose, then move.
Look, you can find desert houses for 1400, or a decent place in
lancaster for $2K, let the market implode.
