There is still great demand for Housing in Arizona as 330 people move here every day!

So far there has been surprisingly no effect in prices or demand.

But the Broker Dealer will not wait on the possibility of future loans closing and demands an immediate margin call.

But once, when I moved to a new neighborhood, some strange lady rang the bell, I opened the front door to see who it is, she demanded to see somebody who supposedly lived there.

She recently sent us a letter by her lawyer demanding that we leave the property as soon as possible, as we have breached the lease agreements.

Back to do you even want it; is it in a good area where there is demand for remodeled houses or demand for rent? 

If it comes back strong (and I think markets with strong demand leading up to the shutdown will, as this is unrelated to supply and demand for housing, but I digress and again what will happen is anybody’s guess), there will be a glut of new listings coming on the market at the same time from everyone who was waiting to see what happens suddenly needing to sell before the selling season is over.

In general though, renting has been “easy” for the past 5-6 years as supply and demand have tilted in landlords’ favor and rents have risen accordingly.

This will give you a good idea on supply/demand as well.

lol and could take longer period of time to complete) with fixer/turnkey older homes: (which you probably know already) con: - had to worry about HVAC, water heater unit being old and not replaced yet - if it was somewhat fixed already - dealing with potential short cut work from previous contractors - find any unforeseen issues that you'd have to have trustworthy people in place to find out for you (with your due diligence in place)- could have issues after purchase when you try to do your rehab Pro: obviously even with those issues above, there "could" be more ROI in place when its done.New construction: con: - not much addition to do to add more value to your home - Hoa fees could be higher - because newer neighbors use CPM (community property manager) in the beginning - Need to know if the neighbor has a cap of rental properties before purchase, and need to purchase quickPro: - like you mentioned, less capex and maintenance - potentially find a tenant faster - most of the things in the house has warranty up to 5 years Also, if you do end up buying new build, look around the area to see if there are more new constructions going up, it could indicate that population in the area is growing and the area is in demand.
