I'm well positioned for high rates of int, because everything goes up like crazy.In the days of jimmy carter we had the 18% interest rates.

Linda, Dane and Linda here, we just got back to Seattle late last night.

Oh, and to touch on what @Linda Weygant said about the LLC, I'm finding that it's much easier to get traditional mortgage loans to yourself the person than it is to get them to an entity.

With all this discussion of working on holidays, I remember my hubby's Uncle Bob and Auntie Linda. 

well looks like @Linda Weygantalready answered what I was going to say. :) I have to start somewhere and if the CPA can't answer my questions I will find someone who can. :)

Thanks @Linda Weygant and noted.

But like @Linda Weygant mentions, I probably sound like a religious maniac to them.....  

@Jamie Carter I'm pretty sure they are open to anyone

I think you have to look at the strength of the market.. much of what has driven PHX was new construction and all those workers that lived in the apartments.. in 04 clients of mine ( I did not broker them linda gerchek did)  bought 4 plex in PHX for 350k each by 2010 they were 100% vacant and selling for under 100k.. now granted rising tide raises all ships.. but in the other areas you mentioned they are not as susceptible to wild swing in valuation when new construction slows way down or comes to a half.
