ParticipantForget it! That’s what I think. That area sucks and it is WAAAAAAAAAY overpriced for so many reasons. To name a few: no jobs, too much low income/Section 8 housing, people who couldn’t make it in LA move out there with their gang-banger kids. The housing crash is just getting going; land there will drop like a rock – wait till it hits bottom. I wouldn’t buy there ever but that’s just my opinion.

ParticipantI’ve got a friend that lives in Rancho Cucamonga and works in Apple Valley. He says he likes going against the traffic for commuting. Go figure. Personally, I think the mountain areas around Lake Arrowhead are more appealing or land, and are still somewhat reasonably priced.

ParticipantFormer owner pretty much covered it all… absolutely no reason to buy there right now.

ParticipantThanks guys. A friend of mine has sunk a lot of money there and is thinking of putting in even more. He seems to think that it’s a sure thing (no more land) and could double his money within 3-4 years.

ParticipantWait a couple years and you’ll probably be able to buy lots of land in close to town – that could pay off in a few years.

ParticipantTwo separate issues here: is it a “nice” place, and is it a “good” deal? The former is a personal choice, the latter, a matter of cost. Can you share how much per acre your friend paid?
From a development perspective, I think the land in that area will be desirable for development… in the next boom cycle, about 5-10 years from now. Until then, it’s just gonna sit there. (They may not be making any more California desert land, but when it was made, they made a lot of it.)
(Personally, I would aim higher up the mountains to take off a few degrees from the summer heat… once the IE fills in, cooler land up the slopes will gain in relative value as the nearest escape…)

ParticipantI made 500% in 4 months in Adelanto. Bought 2 acres held for 4 months and sold.. I wouldn’t do it again unless I found a FSBO from someone who has had the land a long time, otherwise you’re probably buying from a flipper who will tell you all about why it’s going to appreciate…
