Hi RickeyAs a first-time homebuyer, you have great opportunities in the condo market.

Phoenix contains a rare combination of elements that have created an outstanding market for distressed property investments, including the following:Cost Savings: Distressed properties are sold below their market value and enable investors to take hold of properties at a trifle compared to traditionally listed properties.Strong Market Fundamentals: Being among the fastest-growing cities in the country, Phoenix ensures a high demand in housing and rentals, hence good potential for resale or income from rentals.Value Creation Opportunities: Most distressed properties need renovations; thus, such situations present opportunities for investors to increase equity by adding value.Population and Economic Growth: Phoenix remains among those cities in the country which are attracting more and more residents and business; therefore, this presents good, long-term appreciation possibilities of property appreciation and income creation.Challenges to ConsiderWhile the rewards can be great, distressed property investment is not without its challenges.

Quote from @Virginia Frost: I'm always looking for a good opportunity but honestly my next purchase will probably be something that I don't have to do a total overhaul on.

Strong rental demand (~50% of each of these markets are renters), solid job base in various job sectors, and a steady growth opportunities in both market appreciation and rents.

Unfortunately BP search for people is less than desirable so had to make a post to try and find people.If you are in the area, love to connect as we have a lot of opportunities (portfolio of assets) that just came our way.

I'd do what you can to keep yourself uninvolved with it....but still help your Grandma of course..A trip to the City (Planning/Zoning/Building Depts) will give you some valuable info.

Hello I picked up a deal just outside of 1604 near San Antonio that I believe is great opportunity.

The endless pointless meetings, pretending to care about company wide announcements, having to sell products that I didn’t find valuable at all.

Hello Preston,Thanks for the advice and valuable website.
