To answer your question: yes, large studies released by the bigger brokerages have shown Phoenix and other sunbelt markets showing overall rent declines.

If you are someone who has a bigger portfolio that you manage I would suggest appfolio or yardi.  

I am new to Bigger Pockets. 

Based on the questions you are asking I think you need to spend more time listening to podcasts like Bigger Pockets and Bigger Pockets Rookie.

Been listening to bigger pockets for about a month now (literally everyday, at every moment I have spare time LoL) and am learning a lot.

I plan to be here often but have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast for the last year now, and have consistently been saving to make my first investment this year.

It really depends on your bigger picture and also what you are hoping to accomplish in the future.

Hey , i am new to the bigger pocket forums , we are thinking of trying to get away from Canada and i was wondering about getting work with a builder /contractor under an E-2 or similar visa .

Thanks to Bigger Pockets members I am now aware of six Crew DSTs that have or had their distributions suspended.

I would also consider being a bigger fish in a smaller pond.
