Starting to get competitive though for investment properties because of that reason you have more and more people entering the market from out of state.

Now, I’m rebuilding my portfolio while continuing to help others buy and sell homes.

Maybe selling is the best option stop the bleeding and do something that is more risk adverse. 

You should reach out to @Melissa Haworth she can get the actual numbers/rents on STRs in the area to help run your comps.Each building is different, each area is different, it is important to find accurate data to make good decisions.

Plenty of active investors here who'd be happy to share insights and experiences.Looking forward to connecting and hearing more about your plans in Phoenix!

Last year we helped eight buyers acquire exceptional coastal STR's in; Brookings, Gold Beach, Bandon, Manzanita, Arch Cape and Yachats, with two in 2025 under contract in Seaside and Rockaway Beach.

You could also explore seller financing or a bridge loan to give you more flexibility.

Still, you may not have to submit your tax returns. more info would be needed to know for sure, reach out to a seasoned loan officer for pre-approval and see if your situation would allow for this. 

More Class B tenants will and a LOT of Class C & D will.

Your response really helped me understand the key aspects of short sales, especially regarding title issues, lender valuation, and inspections.I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise!
