@Brandon Wulff I actually own two properties in Scottsdale which we rent to MLB players for spring training and I'd echo Amber's comment above. 

Seems like eXp Realty is going to become a major player in the space on par with KW and the like.

If you talk to large experienced long term players in Arizona multifamily like Ken McElroy, he will tell you that it makes no sense to buy C class when you can build for the same or less all in.

I don’t think that the market and the way the larger players are investing tells that story.

I got it Linda owned the Pacific union shop in Napa and started the one in SF she was a principal.. will have to check in with her.. and Panel was a major player I think they either bought contempo or fox and clarksgaden back in the day..

Otherwise, I recommend hoarding cash and wait for the largest financial player to reinstate pre-covid rules and level off the market. 

@Michael Lowe - a lot of good commentary in this thread and something we see all the time with new players in the business. 

I've learned that there tend to be a handful of large players in every market that wholesalers will come to BEFORE they market to their "buyer lists". 

There is still some food on the table, and your contractor and property manager are the 2 main players that help you harvest it.
