I have a tendency to believe nothing is really easy or hard...more accurately familar vs unfamilar.

When the market becomes inflated in unsustainable fashion, have an alternative means to generate profits and be prepared for things to swing back to undervaluation before it reaches equilibrium again.

If house prices or rate of debt ever come into a fashion where houses become intrinsic again, you will see investors come out.

A fashion that provides a more appropriate recourse to the seller should things go sideways.

You’ll build assets & long-term financial security much faster in this fashion.

I will be holding an RSVP Open House next weekend for a condo listing I have coming on the market in Old Town Scottsdale (walking distance to Scottsdale Fashion Square).

Ironically, as an eXp agent "Disparaging or speaking negatively about the competition or any other agent outside of eXp Realty in any form or fashion" is prohibited and ground for removal or severance from eXp.

Crunch the numbers to see if upfront savings on a property purchase made in this fashion may cost you more in the end.All the best!

Don't get me wrong; there are plenty of issues/problems/quirks that old houses have that new houses don't, and an old house can obviously have hidden problems and big repair/maintenance bills too--which is why thorough due diligence is fundamental to REI...but, the point is: a brand new house is not a foolproof solution to repairs/maintenance headaches (and in some cases, a brand new house can be a much bigger gamble than an older house).This is a particularly important lesson for inexperienced investors, who tend to be the most prone to "shiny object syndrome" (the tendency to let nice aesthetics distract from real, underlying issues).

You'll have great shopping, dining and restaurant options all over town but especially in downtown And Chandler Fashion Square.
