Phoenix is obviously going to be leading the charge on that.The main population segments moving here are going to be:1) Retirees from colder states (Florida #1 destination, Arizona #2) Over 10,000 people turn 65 every day.2) Younger Generations from California (mostly from SoCal - Median home price is double Phoenix's)The main thing that'll keep the ball rolling is young families from more expensive markets like California.

For federal income tax reporting this means the SMLLC is dissolved and there's no distinction between the SMLLC's assets/income and the owner's assets/income.The tax treatment of you holding the property directly vs through a SMLLC taxed as a disregarded entity will be 100% the same.

My focus would be on spending all of your spare time in learning about the different investment options, the real estate segments you might be interested in and understanding the trends in each.

As a result, they have been able to purchase on the ground floor of a rising market sub-segment.
