SOLAR, SOLAR, SOLAR oh yes did I mention SOLAR and battery storage. Make it standard in all your properties. Provides clean energy. Provides Blackout protection. Increases the value of your property.
I really hope you guys reconsider the pool and don't add plants that require watering. I don't think Joshua Tree tourists are hang at the pool types and water scarcity is in a dire situation out there.
Bruh who’d want to go to that sh!thole without a pool?! It’s dry as hell and the landscape is fugly. The landscape is flatter than Kansas and is exclusively tumbleweeds. The ONLY reason you’d rent an Air Bnb there is for a nice pool and seclusion. Like maybe an outdoor shade tent, a home that frames the handful of views and a pool
Shelby, congratulations! Buying a plot of land to build on is a bold move. You persisted on your Palm Springs project and this one will turn out even better
This is awesome! Congrats! Would love videos on costs associated as you go for example how much was the cost for the architects stage to prep for permits then cost for permits breakdown and then the build and costs and stages as you go! Thank you for sharing this! I have always wondered how much something like this would be! And the real life experience of it from start to finish!
So I live out in the desert it is so condensed with airbnbs. Lots of airbnbs are not booked currently to be honest. It’s also hard for the permits, they just put a short term rental ban in Joshua tree it’s been capped, it’s also just super hard to find good work. There is def potential if it’s a long term plan like yours but it’s really saturated out here.
Gonna be a squatters paradise. According to the court here they have more rights than owners! Good luck with that! Sadly now locals can't find rentals. Rental prices are ridiculas and now they want a person's income to be 3x the rent. Majority of jobs are entry leval pay & lots of retirees & people on fixed incomes. Just hope this goofy fad stays on the west end of the valley with the crime they're bringing.
Shelby, this is fantastic! So proud of you! Good location but know that the wildlife out there is notorious! Build your fence high!! Also make sure there are plenty of security and lights! You will love the "Stargazing" and the beautiful Sunsets! During the Winter the temperatures are 60 during the day and 30 degrees at night! Congrats again and I enjoy watching your intelligent journey! Be safe! 🙏 🤲 🙏
I said this is another video but make sure you orientate the house towards the views obviously but also towards the south! Because then you'll maximise your light throughout the day and won't be in a dark living area without much natural light. In Australia where I am it's the opposite and you want a north facing house. It's a big priority here when buying houses so I wonder why it isn't mentioned more there.
this is really cool. i guess the advantage of building from ground up is you can really make it as beneficial as possible for an airbnb. so like prioritizing more rooms, fitting more beds. more open spaces, open kitchen/bar. so many possiblilities. this will be fun to follow!
For most people -- buying land to build - is a lot harder and costlier than you realize. Shelby, I enjoyed this video - as I live in southern Calif. I'm sure you have lots of help deciding where and when to buy land and build - and making sure you'll have a great income after renting out the house.
Sandy, with Joshua Tree sort of out in the middle of nowhere (except I assume it's close to joshua tree national park), that probably makes it less desirable right? I've seen plots of land here in California for like $100 but obviously not desirable ones :)
Hey Shelby, check out a hotel called Amangiri. It has incredible styling for a desert location- top of my bucket list to stay in at some point. Good luck with the project!
Outside of airbnb I could see this location maybe be used for film sets or music videos for artist! Some thoughts that came to mind in case Airbnb traffic doesn’t get as “hot” (hehe)
Cool! You may want to follow online or read up on the people who love Joshua Tree park, as I know they have some strong opinions on visitors who don't take care of it very well. By building an airbnb you're inviting more people in, and you may be able to help those people understand what is good behavior and what is bad behavior in the park by just providing it to them.
As a local in the area we don't want these vaca rentals. I get calls weekly and as of yet NOT one has done their homework of the house & property or area.
Get rid of that Cholla cactus. They are called the Teddy bear or jumping cactus for a reason. The slightest touch and they break off. The barbed splines will dig in to your skin and getting them out is bloody (speaking from experience).
@@ShelbyChurch the "leaves of the cactus are connected very loosely. The barbs on the tines grab on to any piece of clothing or skin. They appear cute but when touched they are not easily removed. As the landowner and landlord of the property this might be something you should consider. Either put a warning for renters or find out if you can remove or move them. Having someone or more likely their pets get caught could affect the rating of the rental.

Levi Kelly has a RUclips channel dedicated to tiny house AirBnB rentals and many places have multiple tiny homes on the property to maximize profit as well. It's a good channel to get inspiration too, but maybe downsizing the house and building several of them instead could increase your revenue stream. Especially since you have the acreage to work with. I'm excited to see this project get started!
boo to the over-commodification of housing. shelter is a survival necessity for all living things but everyone would rather be rich and cause suffering
It's crazy how EXPENSIVE JT and the high desert has become. Before I was making money, I was looking at parcels of land with electric and water included for under $25,000 around 2017-18. Sad what RUclips did to this hidden gem! Nothing is how it used to be. Tiktok, IG and YT have ruined most hidden destinations, or best kept secrets. By the way, what are you going to do with the land when the Colorado River and Lake Mead dry up? Don't mean to be so negative in my post. But all factors I looked at.
OMG YAY! This is so exciting!! I just went live only my first airbnb and now I'm planning to do my next one. Please share more of your updates and process!
Hmmm. I’d love a piece of land there to build a riad like they have in Marrakech. Or a Joshua tree version of that. Those are stunning, could have multiple guests, and can’t get better for indoor / outdoor living.
Real Estate provides cash flow, tax benefits, equity building, competitive risk-adjusted returns, and inflation protection on its own. Whether you invest in physical properties or REITs, real estate may help you diversify your portfolio and reduce volatility. Dividends are what got me into investing in REITs, a great way to secure the accumulated wealth.
Consistently investing in high quality dividend paying REITs & companies over the long term is a relatively easy strategy to create generational wealth.
As a new investor it's always great to hear from a person who has gone through all the difficult times and come ahead of it. It's unnerving to see your portfolio go from green to red but as mentioned if you have invested in quality names just have to keep adding to them and stay the course.
As a rookie, I started off my investment with "Catherine Ann Setraycic" and my profits have been assured. In situations like this, I would always suggest you consult a licensed professional who will guide you through the rough markets and just give you signals and strategies on when to enter and exit the market.>
@@jorjabertie3466 Yes it is. That first 100$k is the hardest. From there, your money works for you. Look her up on the net She has an official web page.

I used to work in JT and when I saw your thumbnail I just knew your next house was going to be in JT. A Lot of people from LA have been buying up there lately. Property #3 is a good spot its on the backside of the station and will have a good response if needed.
You may know the area…… My opinion is ROI will take a long time things to consider in an investment in addition if hotels are not in the area just “cheap” overnight stays that means the kind of customers are in the area! Marketing can do wonders 🤔 real estate can help with taxes you also can sale the property which is never to bad on the investment 👏👏👏 great job keep doing good 👍 happy for you 👍

Wetlands Laventory Mapper Fema 4. Flood Zone 5. County Maintained Road? 6. Utilities 7. Cell Service 8. Neighbors 9. Endangered Services 10. Zoning
This is really great, congrats! I'm curious, I've noticed you've got an appreciation for pools. Water in southern CA is becoming a pretty a pretty valuable resource and green golf courses, pools, lawns, etc... are pretty irresponsible. I'm trying not to be too judgy, I'd totally swim in it, but you seem to ignore the issue. I would be a little concerned that hydrant will be dry in the not too distant future.
You fill a pool once, and then don’t need to refill it for quite a while, i’ve researched this online a bit (not a ton though to be honest) and from what I found a lot of sprinkler systems use more water than a pool does
Also my pool has to have to be filled up some during the summer. I don’t live in the desert and rain water replenishes it. I think it can be surprising how much actually evaporates!
I live in the desert part of the year and definitely have to refill my pool! Also, please consider your guests splashing, and loosing water that way. Why not consider a unique lap pool that is half the size and can be heated during winter months?
Oh Tom! That is a partial comparison! Bugsy did have an eye for discovering Vegas but; his outcome, wasn't so good! The Syndicate; didn't appreciate him stealing the money to do it!
There was an article regarding Joshua Tree and how investors pushing out people who could afford Joshua Tree anymore. Hopefully the city will stop investors coming in for right now especially those who don’t reside in California
this is a great project and I can't wait to see what you do with it ! I was very confused about why do people find Joshua tree attractive XD Like to me there's nothing all around besides dry land and random dry plants, it looks so so desperate, boring and too hot haha... but apparently there's interesting sceneries to look at a bit further so I guess it's a good rental/vacation project. I wouldn't see myself live here all year long. Although personally I wouldn't rent around that, I would probably just cross by to check and keep driving to a forest or something ahaha. Too dry for me XD
Palm Springs was like that long ago, Vegas too. Look at those places now. What makes JT most appealing is that there is nothing around! Oh yeah let’s not forget the star the national park. Have you seen the big national parks neighboring towns? They are a nightmare! I use to go as a kid with friends it was so secluded and felt like no one around. Nowadays JT is a hotspot for stargazing and Air bnb there are very expensive!
Are considering setting up solar and a home battery when you build the house? I don’t think it would add to the cost too much and Joshua Tree appears ideal for solar. Over the long term you get a reduction in operating costs which is good for the bottom line in an Air B&B. Just as important you will have reliable energy for the home in case of grid failure. You may get some solar tax benefits as well. Toss in a charging port for an electric car and it is another selling point for your B&B!
6/14/2022 , Big Bear City. The Desert-Sun reports that San Bernardino County issues a 45-day pause on new short-term vacation rental permits in the Joshua Tree area and other second home markets to evaluate short-term vacation rental issues.
Hiya Shelny realy awesome video. I think your rationale in investing in property/land is really solid. Come hell or high waters, people will always want somewhere to live and somewhere to chill. Solid business investment! Look forward to more on this subject. Bright blessings and all the best :)
FOR REAAAAAL!!! Like, I'm over here so enthralled and captivated by each of her HIGHLY informative and educational videos! Oh Shelby. Just being her adorable and carefree self, just casually and flawlessly taking over the world like it's no big deal. 🙌 Plus, her editing skills are just 🤌
I have multiple houses that I airbnb in the Joshua Tree area. They do okay, but no where near as profitable as our homes in Indio! Definitely look into the Indio/Coachella area, plus we don't have the same restrictions as Palm Springs. Look into the east side of the desert next! Good luck in Joshua
Exactly, Joshua tree is too oversaturated. I still think she might do extremely well, because she has her RUclips channel to market, plus robuilts... However, for the average person I would avoid Joshua tree altogether.
I bought land out there back in 2007 and ended up selling it. The paper work to build is $30K to $50K and I certainly couldn’t afford that. Good luck 👍
Glad you are building from scratch. We need more developers, it can be so time-consuming and challenging! Not everyone can take on a project like this.
Awesome! I love what you’re doing with the land and house plans! Best of luck! I so dig this type of content -getting to hear your thought process in these bullet like but conversationally presented conclusions makes this fun and entertaining. Keep up the great work! Excited to see where this one lands!
This is great content but I’m surprised that Shelby would make the jump to invest in a new construction when material cost is super high. I’m interested in the numbers.
From your other videos I’m sure you’re already researching this but try as hard as you can to build a sustainable home on that piece of land. Place windows on north and south exposure, build large eaves and overhangs to protect from sun, look into passive style homes. That land and property isn’t very sustainable on its own and you could use any extra help protecting it from the elements and cooling it. Good luck on your next adventure!
I disagree. I’m using AirBNB and VRBO for vacations. I just got back from New Orleans and had a wonderful week. Great Property($1564 for a week) on Canal street and the street car came right in front of the house. Prior to that I spent a week in Belize in a 2 bedroom house($994 for the week) on an island. It had a rooftop patio with an ocean view and close to the main beach. You can’t get the same experience in a hotel especially if you’re bringing family and close friends.
Also with the coming recession and interest rate hikes, I don't know how Airbnb people will be able to charge so much soon. I feel like its huge risk at this moment of time. By the way, what is out in Joshua Tree? It just looks like an abandoned town, why would I stay there on vacation?
A ton of people still use Airbnb! But I agree in many cases that hotels are better. If you’re traveling in a major city a hotel is probably better. If you’re going to a remote location with a group of four or more people in Airbnb is probably better. There’s just different circumstances that they thrive in imo
Okay Get a airhorn!! Don't run! Coyote can jump a 6 foot wall no problem.If allowing pets cover your self! With insurance?You can never leave a pet unattended.Welcome to the Desert it is the BEST.
Suggestion… can you put tall trees (palm tall trees) where those electrical poles stand out in the view .. maybe an indoor to outdoor pool… or under cover to open air pool,, lap pool with lighting makes you forget your in the desert?? Luxury in the desert”…
Shelby, I wanted explore the thought process regarding another SoCal desert property. Was any consideration given to the 22 year on-going drought in the southwest? Especially since we know Lake Powell and Lake Mead are drying up and water is going to be an issue down the road. My other concern is that the Salton Sea is drying up and it is thought that toxic dust storms and severe stench will reak havic in the Coachella Valley and beyond. These concerns could not only impact tourism, but, the property values. Your thoughts? Thank-you
Great job Shelby so proud of you 👏 Nut I was just wondering if you know There is a New law in City Of San Bernardino and Joshua tree location City put a hold on issuing new permit for Airbnb , short term rental. How do you overcome that? do you know about it? Please let everyone know. Good luck 👍 ☺️
the new rule is that 10% of permitted homes can be short-term rentals - currently, JT is at about 6%. Therefore anyone considering building a short term rental is risking capital that may not work out -
Same. I don't understand the appeal. I get the appeal of Grand Canyon or Moab but not this. Also, the thought of running into a snake...would make me too scared to stay here.
There is Joshua Tree and then...there's Josuha Tree National Park. Two complete different experiences. There is a reason why the area Shelby bought this plot of land is so uninhabited. I guarantee the person who sold the land is extremely, extremely happy.
Some of the drone shots are telling. You will be able to look back and say to your grandkids, "We were one of the first in this area, it wasn't as crowded as it is now! Only a few nearby neighbors". Of course, in the future they will be able to get water from the air and electricity from sand. Good luck!
It would have been cool to see you add solar to one of the other plots. Also, it is good to see that you are investing your time and money to have a back up for your future. Good luck in your Venturers.

It will have solar. It’s required on all new residential buildings in CA.

Solar is not a good financial choice for a rental like this. Spend the $20k or more on things that your guests will actually enjoy.

I just don’t get desert, it’s so depressing
I love the separate “chapters” in videos-so helpful!
There was an article regarding Joshua Tree and how investors pushing out people who could afford Joshua Tree anymore. Hopefully the city will stop investors coming in for right now especially those who don’t reside in California
this is a great project and I can't wait to see what you do with it ! I was very confused about why do people find Joshua tree attractive XD Like to me there's nothing all around besides dry land and random dry plants, it looks so so desperate, boring and too hot haha... but apparently there's interesting sceneries to look at a bit further so I guess it's a good rental/vacation project. I wouldn't see myself live here all year long. Although personally I wouldn't rent around that, I would probably just cross by to check and keep driving to a forest or something ahaha. Too dry for me XD
Palm Springs was like that long ago, Vegas too. Look at those places now. What makes JT most appealing is that there is nothing around! Oh yeah let’s not forget the star the national park. Have you seen the big national parks neighboring towns? They are a nightmare! I use to go as a kid with friends it was so secluded and felt like no one around. Nowadays JT is a hotspot for stargazing and Air bnb there are very expensive!
So cool and congrats on the new property! I would love to know what software you used to mock up plans for the house build? Thank you! :)
Sketchup!
With 5 acres are you going to place the house in a way that would allow you to put a second one on the property in the future?
Are considering setting up solar and a home battery when you build the house? I don’t think it would add to the cost too much and Joshua Tree appears ideal for solar. Over the long term you get a reduction in operating costs which is good for the bottom line in an Air B&B. Just as important you will have reliable energy for the home in case of grid failure. You may get some solar tax benefits as well. Toss in a charging port for an electric car and it is another selling point for your B&B!
Congratulations Shelby🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Cannot wait to see the direction you go with this property .
6/14/2022 , Big Bear City. The Desert-Sun reports that San Bernardino County issues a 45-day pause on new short-term vacation rental permits in the Joshua Tree area and other second home markets to evaluate short-term vacation rental issues.
You were smart to choose land with power. Be sure to check how much it will cost to connect to the power.
stg Shelby and Monica are gonna become the next property brothers
Hiya Shelny realy awesome video. I think your rationale in investing in property/land is really solid. Come hell or high waters, people will always want somewhere to live and somewhere to chill. Solid business investment! Look forward to more on this subject. Bright blessings and all the best :)
You'll never know how much you inspire us.
FOR REAAAAAL!!! Like, I'm over here so enthralled and captivated by each of her HIGHLY informative and educational videos! Oh Shelby. Just being her adorable and carefree self, just casually and flawlessly taking over the world like it's no big deal. 🙌
Plus, her editing skills are just 🤌
I agree
I’m always so confused by the name Racquet Club Resort! Where’s the tennis court? Is there one close by? I have so many questions 😂
The name comes from the neighbourhood it's located in.
I have multiple houses that I airbnb in the Joshua Tree area. They do okay, but no where near as profitable as our homes in Indio! Definitely look into the Indio/Coachella area, plus we don't have the same restrictions as Palm Springs. Look into the east side of the desert next! Good luck in Joshua
Exactly, Joshua tree is too oversaturated. I still think she might do extremely well, because she has her RUclips channel to market, plus robuilts... However, for the average person I would avoid Joshua tree altogether.
You can’t get a permit in Indio anymore, only if you were grandfathered in!
I'd like to hear the details about the collab with Robuilt, and what made you pair up! And the financial deets and corp structure!
I bought land out there back in 2007 and ended up selling it. The paper work to build is $30K to $50K and I certainly couldn’t afford that. Good luck 👍
Glad you are building from scratch. We need more developers, it can be so time-consuming and challenging! Not everyone can take on a project like this.
Welcome to the high desert! 🛸🌴🌵
I am so looking forward to seeing what you will build on that piece of land!!
Awesome! I love what you’re doing with the land and house plans! Best of luck! I so dig this type of content -getting to hear your thought process in these bullet like but conversationally presented conclusions makes this fun and entertaining. Keep up the great work! Excited to see where this one lands!
Very interested in investing in vacation rentals. Thanks for sharing! Trust your advice!
new short term rental rules are now in place in JT. 10% of permitted homes will be allowed to short term rental
congrats Shelby, looking forward to seeing the progression through to the finished product 🎉👍🏻
I grew up in Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree! I'll be tracking this properties progress, cool project
How’s the project coming along?
This is great content but I’m surprised that Shelby would make the jump to invest in a new construction when material cost is super high. I’m interested in the numbers.
From your other videos I’m sure you’re already researching this but try as hard as you can to build a sustainable home on that piece of land. Place windows on north and south exposure, build large eaves and overhangs to protect from sun, look into passive style homes. That land and property isn’t very sustainable on its own and you could use any extra help protecting it from the elements and cooling it. Good luck on your next adventure!
I truly look forward to your videos, better than television 🙏🏽
It’s interesting seeing people continuing to buy Airbnb properties when most people (unless a large group) are traveling with hotels again.
I disagree. I’m using AirBNB and VRBO for vacations. I just got back from New Orleans and had a wonderful week. Great Property($1564 for a week) on Canal street and the street car came right in front of the house. Prior to that I spent a week in Belize in a 2 bedroom house($994 for the week) on an island. It had a rooftop patio with an ocean view and close to the main beach. You can’t get the same experience in a hotel especially if you’re bringing family and close friends.
Also with the coming recession and interest rate hikes, I don't know how Airbnb people will be able to charge so much soon. I feel like its huge risk at this moment of time. By the way, what is out in Joshua Tree? It just looks like an abandoned town, why would I stay there on vacation?
@@brandtc.7991 Fantastic desert hikes and I ride motorcycles out there. Open Space.
@@PapaDougsAdventures01 Interesting! I wonder how the AirBnbs will hold up in a few months though?
A ton of people still use Airbnb! But I agree in many cases that hotels are better. If you’re traveling in a major city a hotel is probably better. If you’re going to a remote location with a group of four or more people in Airbnb is probably better. There’s just different circumstances that they thrive in imo
Okay Get a airhorn!! Don't run! Coyote can jump a 6 foot wall no problem.If allowing pets cover your self! With insurance?You can never leave a pet unattended.Welcome to the Desert it is the BEST.
Suggestion… can you put tall trees (palm tall trees) where those electrical poles stand out in the view .. maybe an indoor to outdoor pool… or under cover to open air pool,, lap pool with lighting makes you forget your in the desert?? Luxury in the desert”…
Shelby,
I wanted explore the thought process regarding another SoCal desert property.
Was any consideration given to the 22 year on-going drought in the southwest? Especially since we know Lake Powell and Lake Mead are drying up and water is going to be an issue down the road.
My other concern is that the Salton Sea is drying up and it is thought that toxic dust storms and severe stench will reak havic in the Coachella Valley and beyond.
These concerns could not only impact tourism, but, the property values.
Your thoughts? Thank-you
"Drought? What drought?" -- Millennials
adds doors from rooms to pool. i like
Right it would make such a cool view from the rooms!
@@ShelbyChurch you are aware there not issuing any air bnb permits
Great job Shelby so proud of you 👏 Nut I was just wondering if you know There is a New law in City Of San Bernardino and Joshua tree location City put a hold on issuing new permit for Airbnb , short term rental.
How do you overcome that? do you know about it?
Please let everyone know.
Good luck 👍 ☺️
the new rule is that 10% of permitted homes can be short-term rentals - currently, JT is at about 6%. Therefore anyone considering building a short term rental is risking capital that may not work out -
Congrats Shelby! I have a place in Bermuda dunes. Following your journey! So happy for you
I’m kind of confused… why would you go to Joshua tree for a vacation rental? 😅 do people stay out there a lot???
YIKES.... when you're watching this AFTER her last update video on the palm springs summer revenues.
Can someone from California explain the appeal of Joshua Tree to this midwesterner? Why would you vacation in an area suitable for a Mad Max film?
Same. I don't understand the appeal. I get the appeal of Grand Canyon or Moab but not this. Also, the thought of running into a snake...would make me too scared to stay here.
I can only assume. Prices perhaps, space and geography? I don’t see the appeal personally.
I don't understand it either. Used to live in SoCal and no one wanted to be there but I left almost 20 years ago so times have changed. 🤷♀️
Same haha as a european I‘m so confused it looks hella scary there 😂
There is Joshua Tree and then...there's Josuha Tree National Park. Two complete different experiences. There is a reason why the area Shelby bought this plot of land is so uninhabited. I guarantee the person who sold the land is extremely, extremely happy.
So proud of you!! You’re inspiring me!!
I love this! Maybe you will run into Vince Chase and the guys
Love this! Was just down in JT in May shopping land. It’s so weird compared to house shopping! Glad you found a spot. Good luck with the build!
Wow, that's a very ambitious project. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
Some of the drone shots are telling. You will be able to look back and say to your grandkids, "We were one of the first in this area, it wasn't as crowded as it is now! Only a few nearby neighbors". Of course, in the future they will be able to get water from the air and electricity from sand. Good luck!
Congrats!! V exciting and makes sense now the way you explained it. Here for it
Wicked Smart Choice, Can't wait to see the Finished product!!!
It would have been cool to see you add solar to one of the other plots. Also, it is good to see that you are investing your time and money to have a back up for your future. Good luck in your Venturers.
Looking forward to your updates Shelby - I am going to be buying some land in Joshua Tree next year too!
Just saw your NYC rental vid. Wow! Love J Tree. Interested in seeing the next vid. Did you look at Anza Borrego? Best of luck. John
It will be fun to see the progress of this project!
As soon as you said Joshua tree I knew you were gonna work w rob
renters love remote feel and views! Most people don't find remoteness 'creepy'
Great milestone! Thanks for sharing. Is that prefab a option to setup your bnb much quicker?
Wow this is so exciting! I can’t wait to get into investment projects like this one day! So fun. Love watching your journey with it all 🥰
look quite cool. love that design plan
I'm pretty certain Joshua Tree will be the next Palm Springs and it's smart of you to make this build now!
