No grocery stores and everyone must travel 30 minutes one way for most things they want.You will be hiring a crew or crews from Buckeye, Az. most likely and getting supplies to Gila Bend will increase your costs.Rents are very low and I know of a couple of homes that have been on the market for a very long time.The town just had a recall election for the city council seats so even the town is in a little bit of turmoil when it comes to how it is being run.Renters burn a lot of landlords and everyone is related to each other.

Extremely high crime, burned out buldings, crack houses, shootings.... good luck getting cops to respond.

If, for example, the house burns down, they agree that their money would simply be lost.

We burned through a couple other management groups before I found these guys.

If you have a little cash to burn, I would recommend getting your parcel surveyed and having utilities located.

We haven't even done our first deal yet (unless you count our primary residence which we're also thinking differently about at this point, thinking about potential value add's and potentially renting it out if we could find something else where the numbers make sense) but we're already hooked.I am a professional delivery driver for a fairly large company and for the last month during work I've been burning through the BP podcasts at a very rapid rate. 

I have seen the jumping of the wires many times.. those folks have to be nuts that do that so easy to fry yourself and very easy for the house to burn down.. its insane what happens in those areas and those houses.. its almost like sport to the locals. 

Since the only things I have seen so far that weren't holding up are those they have been done in the last decade, I would have to lean way towards the 93 yr old parts being much safer than the 13 yr old crap.Of course, I had to mention the whole part about it being a fire trap, which seems to be what helped burn Chicago down back in the day, But with modern tech, that shouldn't be as worrisome as back then.Anyone with anything you think I should know, need to , or what to know about balloon framed houses.  

Two problems for them:1) This is late in the Tech Unicorn cycle so big Wall Street money starts wondering whether dishing out cash to money burning companies guarantees success.2) Real estate is not retail: their cash offer program means they would carry an inventory that exposes them to being wiped out if/when the market softens.

Cash is king... if you burn through your cash and have nothing to rehab with, that's no good either.
