I would love to talk to you and bounce ideas off each other. 

If you give address or location I can get a lot more accurate:In 2015, there were 269 fourplexes sold in Maricopa county for a median sales price of $182k.So far in 2018, there have been 136 sold fourplexes in Maricopa county for a median sales price of $295k.Using that figure, the yearly appreciation rate for fourplexes as a whole in Maricopa county has been 17%.You'd probably want to get the figure for the last year to really narrow it down, that way you take any bounce back from the recession out of the equation completely. 

I don't know how you're paying this guy but it wouldn't be a bad idea to continue to bounce ideas off him and hear his perspective. 

Economists are optimistic the economy will bounce back in the latter half of 2020, growing at a rate of nearly 6% by the end of the year.The Good:April collections came in stronger than most expected.Multifamily as an asset class fared among the best in real estate during the last recessions.

I see my role as a partner and someone to find data and bounce ideas off of. 

I would love to talk about the area and investing in general so please bounce any ideas off of me if you would like.

THere may be other lien holders... you should find out about that.On the day of the Aucton, the county will start the bidding at their costs (Say $1,200), the 2ed bid (almost always) is the bank will bid that plus their lien (So $221,200)... the bank will then start praying that someone else bids..... often no one does.THEN the bank owns the house (which they never wanted to happen), so then the bank who works as fast as glaciers, get the paperwork ready so they own the house and can sell it (weeks to months, add time if someone is dead or bankrupt), once they have the paperwork they figure out how much money they put into this, they add some profit or negotiating room, bounce that off of an in-house (ie approximate) appraisal and generate a list price, they then give that package to their whipping boy the "Foreclosure agent", who posts it on MLS or gets a buyer and is expected to get only 1.5 or 2% of the deal as a commission.So you can find out what the bank will bid, if you can catch the property at the sheriff auction, which may be (way) less than the market price and the bank would be happy to let it go as long as they are paid...

Make sure you meet some of the folks here so you feel you have someone to talk to and bounce ideas off of. 

And girlfriend that ain't gonna happen working for an hourly wage in today's world - so I bounced out of the employment thing and into REI (that day came naturally so to speak).

I appreciate your thoughtful response and would love to bounce some questions off of you from time to time, and possibly meet up with you when I make the move to your city!
