The Market's Top Short Term Rentals – Yours Before Anyone Else.
March 1, 2025 | Issue #110 |
INVESTOR’S EDGE EXCLUSIVE
Hey, friend! With demand for Joshua Tree-area rentals up 12% year-over-year, investors are cashing in on travelers seeking solitude, stargazing, and the kind of rugged beauty that makes city life feel like a distant memory.
And today’s first listing? A turnkey, eco-friendly investment on 10-acres of open desert. This home is an experience. With sunsets, fire pit gatherings, and panoramic views that turn weekenders into repeat guests, it’s no wonder it’s expected to deliver a 46% cash on cash return with a whopping $62K in free cash flow.

In addition to today’s featured property, a Park City, Utah mountain escape with the rare STR permit already in place (ka-ching! 🤑) and a income producing creekside sanctuary in one of the most sought after locations in Austin, TX. These and more shared exclusively with Investor’s Edge readers.

TODAY’S TOP PROPERTIES

Gorgeous Lake Chalet!! There are lots of marketing tropes Realtors use to describe homes, but when I asked the seller what attracted her to the home, and what she told me, in her own authentic voice seemed of special significance since it came directly from her heart. She said, "The name of our street says it all, Mountain View!" We are on the last row of houses in a year-round recreational lake community, and we face the beautiful mountains with views of forever. I love the fact that there is a walking trail easement behind the house that takes you through the woods to a small local market where you can pick up staples. The home is about five blocks from Scotts Flat Lake, far enough to be out of the traffic, but still close enough for a walk or bike ride on wide streets with gentle contours. I love the way the chalet style, Euro-inspired cabin is perched about 40 feet above the street. It provides privacy and affords a commanding view of the ingress and egress up the driveway. It allows for solitude and puts you the in the shade among beautiful towering pine trees. I love the half acre parcel. It feels so much bigger than a city lot because neighbors don't have fences. Plus: New roof and interior paint! Use address as url for the video.
