Both markets have a lot of activity and seem to offer great potential.

Yet there are now more actively licensed real estate agents than ever before.

When I was active, the O-4 Good Idea Fairies always tried to re-invent how we did business, and 95% of the time, they overcomplicated a simple process making our lives way harder.

So Real estate is the best bet? 

In fact, I've got some bets in the markets that hinge on this happening.

@Bijan SabbaghiYou don’t that’s the challenge - we pull data from several places as a note holder and for example and currently we see less than 20% actually going to foreclosure as most are ending in bankruptcy right now due to borrowers equityThe ones that are under water are typically going back to the bank.Best bet is to find properties where deceased or maybe divorced to get higher chance of actually going to foreclosure

Liquidity: If this is your first or second property, prioritizing liquidity (by cashing out now) might allow you to seize unexpected opportunities, especially if you’re actively prospecting deals.Since you don’t have a deal lined up yet, you might explore options to minimize the gap, like prequalifying potential deals or using short-term financing strategies to bridge the 4 months.Good luck growing your portfolio!

Your best bet is to consult with a good broker that has experience with business insurance and RE.

If you put landlording next to exercising, exercising might be more passive as an activity.

People like Central Tucson because it is close to the downtown that has a great food and night activity scene and is also close the University of Arizona campus that draws lots of parents and grandparents and people who just like the college campus vibeWest Tucson is a great option for the views, golfing and resort feel.
