As an investor here myself, I can tell you we're seeing solid rental demand here thanks to the strong job market and major employers developing here. 

I mainly use FCI and Madison for the majority of my notes.

The thing that the gurus never tell anyone is that the majority of creative finance deals are done by investors who don't need creative financing, that is their leverage and why they can walk away, thereby making them more attractive then the one person who can only do the deal one way because they have no money of their own.

Additionally, Gilbert and Chandler have emerged as strong markets for short-term rentals, benefiting from a combination of year-round tourism, a family-friendly atmosphere, and proximity to major attractions.

All major flippers in town have heavily compressed ARV to accommodate for the potential of the downward slide to continue.

If you look at the majority of foreclosure cases where the Judges make them have to show proof, the banks either got caught forging and/or fabricating the documents or claimed the notes were lost.

My hunch is that more often than not, saving money and getting your ship in order to qualify for an FHA loan is the best and most realistic ladder to homeownership for the vast majority of people.     

Any other major syndication site has restricted sold data so it will be incomplete.

Using a heloc as 1st mortgage really only has a major benefit if you have idol cash sitting around from your paychecks. 

There are some major developments continuing construction, however; the price points are upwards at $290,000 or higher and rent rates being advertised at $2,000 a month.
