Just curious what people have ran across to build these days?

Thank you James, you’re right, it’s so much easier dealing with the right people who as you stated, shoot you straight!

There's also a lot of mid-term demand in this area from people moving down and waiting on their home to be finished.

I am a wholesaler out of Maryland looking to start content creating on my journey, looking to connect with some people that do the same type of thing.

For all the terrible things people say about investing in CA and yes the being not  landlord friendly is true, we have great appreciation and generational wealth has been passed on.

Will there be people willing to buy your property as-is, even with the tenants?

I've had people put down $30,000 or even up to $50,000 as an option fee.

Personally, I would never live in PHX, but that is all personal biases (I prefer seasons and greenery), and clearly lots of people choose to live in PHX.At the end of the day, I would argue market selection almost only comes into play when you are talking assets that cater to institutional buyers that have to get investment committee sign off.
