This coming weekend I am flying to Phoenix to visit some family and I thought I would take a look around and see if I had any interest in investing in the area. I like to invest in raw ground so that is where my search started. I have been searching for months close to home for a certain criteria and I can't seem to find what I am looking for. Although in my search for property in the Phoenix area I came across exactly what I have been searching for. Needless to say I am pretty excited to start researching the area and see if I can make this property work for my needs. Being from out of state I have less knowledge of the existing market there in Glendale. Thankfully BP is here and I thought I would jump on and ask the folks here how things are looking in Arizona.

Is there a shortage or a large inventory of single family residential lots? On average, just a guestimate, how much are 6,000 s.f. lots selling for and how long are they sitting on the market before being purchased?

I appreciate you taking your time to read this and to hopefully respond with your thoughts. I hope to hear from you and possibly even work with you in the near future.

I accidentally posted this in another section, sorry for double posting, I can't figure out how to delete it so I apologize until I figure it out.

I will add another for Mountain View Title. Great to work with

I have a house in Roy we are rehabbing at the moment and it has a kitchen in the basement and could rented out.  It won't be available for just a bit but if your having a hard time finding anything else let me know and maybe it will be done by the time your ready to make your purchase.

Welcome to the site.  You will find a lot of useful resources on here to help you learn more and become a better investor.  I have really liked listening to the podcasts, some are more helpful than others. I say that because some of the podcasts are geared towards types of investing that I have no desire in, find your niche of what you want to do and listen to some podcasts and read as many books on the subject as possible.  Good luck and enjoy.

Welcome to BP, a great place to start is by listening to the podcasts. Lot's of information can be found just by listening and taking notes. Best of luck on your new adventures.

I have a great electrician and plumber that I would highly recommend having in your contact list. Shoot me a message when you get a free moment and I can get you their contact info.  I have been building up my team so I know how it can be trying to find the people who mesh well with you and do what you want them to when you need it.

Sites like zillow only have guesstimates. If you want a real idea of what is going on in your area get with a real estate agent who can sit down with you and determine exactly what your market is and then from there they can tell you what the market is doing and what price ranges you will be looking at.

Good Luck

I use Goldenwest for my HELOC and have had great luck with them. I have a name and number for a great guy there who doesn't just tell you "no" right off the bat and he dives in and tries to make your plans work. If you would like his contact info send me a message and I would be happy to get it to you.

I can't tell you which is better but I can suggest a great Title Company. I use Mountain View Title and they are great to work with. Not sure if that helps you out any but if you go the Title company route at least check them out.
