Phoenix contains a rare combination of elements that have created an outstanding market for distressed property investments, including the following:Cost Savings: Distressed properties are sold below their market value and enable investors to take hold of properties at a trifle compared to traditionally listed properties.Strong Market Fundamentals: Being among the fastest-growing cities in the country, Phoenix ensures a high demand in housing and rentals, hence good potential for resale or income from rentals.Value Creation Opportunities: Most distressed properties need renovations; thus, such situations present opportunities for investors to increase equity by adding value.Population and Economic Growth: Phoenix remains among those cities in the country which are attracting more and more residents and business; therefore, this presents good, long-term appreciation possibilities of property appreciation and income creation.Challenges to ConsiderWhile the rewards can be great, distressed property investment is not without its challenges.

Here is an example with some figures:My LLC total investment = $204,000Partner LLC total investment = $196,000Value of project when complete = $500,000Each LLC value afterwards = $255,000 / $249,000The plan was for me personally to go get the refinance loan because the terms are so much stronger than if I went portfolio with the LLC.Loan total = $300,000 (keeping at 60% or under of value for best terms from the bank)Partner LLC payout = $249,000My LLC payout = $51,000In this scenario, I am struggling to see how to get the remaining equity in the project into my personal name?
