Considering an inherited property in Los Angeles that could be rented for $6,000-7,000 monthly, and with monthly trips to Phoenix amid a child custody battle, I'm interested in understanding the current state of the Phoenix house hacking market.If you have insights, experiences, or trends to share regarding house hacking in Phoenix, I would greatly appreciate your input.

In most markets (in my opinion), things are trending down -- or will be soon -- and new construction is the first to take a hit when it comes to sales and transaction volume.That said, here is what I like/dislike about new construction...PROS OF NEW CONSTRUCTION-  Budgets are easier to forecast (fewer surprises)-  Schedules are easier to forecast (fewer surprises)-  ARVs are easier to forecast-  Can often get a contract before construction is completed-  Contractors on these projects are typically more reliable-  Overall, a lot less stress and headachesCONS OF NEW CONSTRUCTION-  Much longer life-cycle (adds more market risk)-  Higher out of pocket costs-  Financing can be more difficult-  Requires more skill/knowledge-  Requires much more attention to detail-  Generally lower IRR (due to length of projects)Personally, I'd rather do a new construction project over a big rehab any day -- the lack of surprises and the better contractors make the entire project more enjoyable. 

Look at trends in property values, rental demand, vacancy rates, and economic indicators to assess which market aligns better with your investment objectives.Risk management: Determine how much risk is involved in each choice.

I did my homework, from demographics, trends in the past 50 years (jobs, rental cost, population trend, vacancy rate), and so on and so forth.

Not a steady rate and can change all too quickly with recessions, trends, seasons, etc.If it doesnt work as an LTR, don't buy it as an STR!

They're the new trend so too many operators will dive in, they'll hit a peak, and then we'll see units revert back to LTR's, owner-occupied units, or maybe some entirely new model we haven't discovered yet.
