High Cost of new homes equals profit for flippers
As most of you know Tucson is experiencing substantial growth. CAT is building new regional HQ that will provide 600 engineering jobs to Tucson with a projected $600 Mil. positive economic impact on Southern Arizona, Amazon will be building a 20 acre fulfillment center that will bring 2,000 jobs to Tucson, Geico’s regional office is staying in Tucson and they will be adding 700 new jobs just to name a few pieces. The new jobs combined with the fact that the median cost of a new build home in Tucson is currently $306,479. That is almost 100k higher than the June 2018 median price of $212,000. Because of that, we are seeing a clearly underserved middle class and blue-collar community. Individuals looking to flip in Tucson should be zeroing in on that market to provide value. I will post an example of a couple recent deals below. I would love to connect with anyone currently doing flips or thinking about doing them to discuss how we can make money and serve the community at the same time.
