It's certainly not going to help the real estate market, but that article doesn't provide any facts or statistics, just theories on what might happen to the real estate market.

@Scott Mac love the statistics.

I would assume these statistics were expected. 

Here are the four statistics you'll want to consider when researching prospective markets:1) Job Growth2) Population Growth3) Migration4) Housing MarketAnd here are some relevant articles about Phoenix to save you some time:-- Phoenix leads US Counties in Job Growth, New Data Shows-- Phoenix leads the US in Population Growth, New Census Data Shows-- Phoenix is the #1 Migration Destination-- Phoenix is Expected to be Among the Top 5 Housing Markets in 2020I can practically guarantee none of the other markets you're considering are going to be as strong on all factors as the Phoenix metro area is.

Not really statistically significant to be honest.

I wrote a proposal to my landlord stating the situation and gave my BOLD proposal which was: asking to her to reduce my rent by $200 (from $1300 to $1100) for six months, then in 6 months I will pay her $1500/month until caught up.

Rent growth and vacancy rates were fairly easy to underwrite to, as there are several providers of forecasts for those statistics by economists.Now, things have changed. 

In the Phoenix metropolitan statistical area, there a 247 such properties, with a combined loan balance of $957.3 million.The majority of the properties are hotels, particularly Motel 6 and La Quinta Inns.Many of the largest loans coming due locally involve an entire portfolio of properties.For example, 455 Motel 6 properties across the country, including 29 in Arizona, have a loan due in the amount of $1.36 billion, plus another $147.5 million in mezzanine debt that will mature Aug. 10 – though it is not clear how many of these properties are owned by G6 Hospitality.
