The Arizona economy today is much different from what it was in 2008 when housing and construction drove our growth.

Im just trying to create weath fast as possible now so i can gain more time!

All up, I don't think it really compares to the US market in this regard though....I'm thinking of the 'Success Story Spotlight' from today (May 4th), where someone bought a triplex with good rental returns for 14K!!

Those short-term loans can definitely create a lot of uncertainty in today’s market, especially with rising interest rates.

I don't think the fact that prices have gone up 5 years in a row is a good clean indicator that they will continue to do so, if it cashflows today and I can hold it for 20 years inflation should do most of the heavy lifting for me. 

Places like San Antonio might present more favorable cap rates, from what I read in Forbes recently.Refinancing could free up equity if today’s loan terms are more attrative, though that depends on current interest rates and the property’s updated value.

After today’s experience with the extra “PM” fee tacked onto the already extremely high placement fee, I felt I had to say something.

In an ideal world, we'd look to get both, but with today's higher interest rates and rising home values, it seems harder for deals to cash flow. 

They are rules of thumb we use to function day to day because the FACTS are too needlessly complicated to use to make every decision in life.

Some grow too fast and discover they've built a full-time job for themselves.Growth can also include improving cash flow, increasing property value, or optimizing operations.
