Hey @Jonathan Sanchez, a lot will depend on your area.If you are buying in a saturated area with lots of competition, then using an aggregator like Pricelabs to help make your pricing accurate is handy.If you are in an area that has less, then simply looking at nearby properties that are similar to yours on VRBO and AirBNB.

Hi @Zhong Zhang I have used vacancy hacks over the years to get personal properties under 1% when turning tenants over. 3% increase depends on renewing or getting new tenants, when renewing tenants that's  a safe amount. 

After that, it may depend more on the workload of the inspector.

My point is this, I am actively involved/advising this investor, providing local vendors contacts (handyperson, surveyor, painters, etc) and I "don't wait for them to call me", I call them weekly. 

[I think someone else provided an example of this case earlier]-Now provided you do qualify for purchasing a house (4 units or less), you will have no problem qualifying for a mortgage with a Schedule 1 bank as long as you provide the down payment (35% minimum of purchase price) and confirm proof of fund and the source of it- On the proof and source of funds, the banks would want to see an income enough to cover the mortgage payment and other expenses. and in some cases, they would want to make sure they know how you're going to cover your expenses (housing, heating, etc..) where you live.This is usually where it gets annoying for some folks but if you can satisfy this, you should be able to qualify for a mortgage just likely any Canadian tax resident, albeit you will pay a little more in terms of interest rate, etc.

If you building 2 , again depending on your lot size and projected finishes.

Experience depends on who you deal with - the cleaner the loan file and more organized your paperwork the smoother the process with any private lender.

@Annie DriscollSubsequent borrowing by the AITD holder seems to be dependent on the lender.

Based on how many people have moved here from other states (specifically California, Oregon, Washington, and then a few areas like NY/NJ) along with the amount of redevelopment projects and the chip factory that was put in - I think there will be further appreciation for the foreseeable future.Will Phoenix economy be depended on this chip factory?
