I grew up in the area (Maryland) and attended school in state before moving up to NYC and then SF for work in professional services (consulting, strategy) and technology.

of course we have no way of  knowing what lies ahead .. 

I texted her my findings and she said it’s all lies and she is going to sue the companies who wrote them.

I'm not going to lie, I always want my life to be easier, but you are asking others to change when there is no direct reason to, since they can get what they want without changing. 

Erica, linzi and the rest of them were rude unproffesional and and at large lying bunch of people.

There are a lot of scary similarities in the market right now as in 05, 06, but agree that the shortage of affordable housing (builders are just now starting to build them, way after the fact) and labor shortage (kids uninterested in the trades) will delay the arrival of a correction (agree it will come eventually).Plus the employment base in Phoenix is much more diverse now than 10-15 years ago (construction & financial) to a lot of technology and corporate support services recently added. 

I was livid and felt lied to.

Thankfully with the technology of today; there is a huge opportunity to wholesale from a distance that if you two can master it...you can acquire property anywhere. 

Technology provides alternatives to mainstream lifestyle of 1980s-present My vision is different than the historical "urban migration" trends.

Does anyone know where good investment opportunity lies in this regard or have any tips for a newbie?
