They can tell you which properties are in demand, what a unit will rent for, etc.

This raises a critical question: Is there a genuine rental demand in these areas, despite the city's ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure?

But I think as you grow your portfolio "appreciation only" investing loses its appeal due to the demands the portfolio makes of your time and effort.All the best!

its supply demand.. and right now with the FOMO and rush of investor into that area its created again a huge over supply and the market will correct and that means values will drop like your seeing.. 

It seems like Panama went through its own bubble where prices just skyrocketed due to an unwarranted level of demand and eventually it did/is coming back down to reality.

Don't want to sign any agreement where they could demand compensation on a property that they did not help me acquire.

@Anastasia MonroTo achieve financial independence in real estate, focus on boosting savings, improving credit, getting pre-approved for a mortgage, searching for properties with high rental demand, researching local laws and regulations, building a team, staying educated, preparing for property maintenance and management, and being patient and persistent.

A lot of new construction and steady growth ensure the demand for both investors and owner occupants are met.

That should abate in the next 12-18 months, and as new units stop hitting the market at their current pace, Phoenix may see solid growth, especially as the market seems to have solid inbound demand fundamentals, good jobs, tech presence, etc.

I’d suggest focusing on markets with strong rental demand and more affordable entry points—places where your $100k down payment can stretch further and still offer good cash flow.Timing: Interest rates are higher right now, but that shouldn’t necessarily stop you from investing.
