I’m also open to hearing about any recent experiences or success stories you’ve had with off-market deals in these areas.Looking forward to your insights and advice!

How many stories have we heard about the Government going after Lease Option operators?

All up, I don't think it really compares to the US market in this regard though....I'm thinking of the 'Success Story Spotlight' from today (May 4th), where someone bought a triplex with good rental returns for 14K!!

Another friend who invests heavily in Phoenix shared a story about her first deal there..she jumped too quickly into a duplex without adding a little cushion for those first-year capital improvements.

This is what active renters look at too which is why I believe it tells a better story of what rents are currently at compared to other sources. 

Quote from @Lolo Druff: I've heard horror stories about awful property management companies and am looking for a REFERRAL for a trusted source from an investor.

So when you add up the 'homeless' and the 'unsheltered' you actually do get 51%....The population of CA grew by 233,000 people in 2024: https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/12/19/californias-sees-larg...https://ktla.com/news/california/californias-population-is-n...https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-12-23/californ....CA gained more than twice as many people as AZ did last year (109,000): https://www.orionprop.com/topfive/census-arizonas-population...Just the raw numbers, no spin. 

I don't know the DLP side of the story but it appears as they are trying to force a sale that would wipe out the LP equity and investments. 

If that is one of the only contractors and the lien is considerable that’s another story - but not enough info to tell

Thank you in advance for any advice, stories, or pointers you can share!
