Would it be a good idea to take a deposit to secure the deal until the rule clears?

And I feel the ideal portfolio can benefit from the diversification of both.1) Holdfolio isn't a match for me, personally (due to not enough experience, skin in the game, etc).

Our HOA is considering buying the lease so that the entire condo will become fee simple.

With that said Phoenix had one of the highest home price declines in the last market down turn.  

It is always better to have the tenant paying for the utilities as they are the ones using them. 

You'll find stuff on the market, you have to be fast.

-My fiancée and I are planning on having our first kid by the beginning of 2026, so extra room would be ideal as we are somewhat limited in the primary residence. 

I work with a ton of new investors as a realtor the #1 way to get started is just find a 2-4 unit in decent shape and buy it low down with conventional financing 5-10% then you can live in it for a year and do another next year.

Thank you for breaking down the cost for me.

I agree that I am bullish on this taking the PHX market to the next level.
