“It’s not too hot, and it’s not too cold.”Why Phoenix is hotValley home prices are forecasted to climb about 4% during 2020, while they have peaked or are falling in Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Houston, New York, Dallas, Nashville, Salt Lake City, Charlotte, Washington D.C., according to Burns Real Estate Consulting.Metro Phoenix ranks No. 4 for the most investors — about 28% of homebuyers.

Air BnB might be simpler than having a true roommate once we have our own home.

There are hot head landlords who think they can treat tenants like dirt and violate the law.

I'm no professional appraiser, but these are all 3 bed/2 bath homes built in the same era (1920s) with incredibly similar square footage and lots (1600ft/.33 acres) and same basic amenities (none of us have garages but we all have recently renovated kitchen/bath) Besides the 'hot market' that is happening in our little town, we did also do improvements to the home since purchasing it- including a new roof, gutters, encapsulated crawlspace and landscaping. 

Some items to check include: electrical, gas plumbing, heating and air conditioning, floor, roof and anything to make the mobile home habitable and functional.Once the home is ready to move in, then you can start to market the mobile home.

Tacoma is a hot market.

We are buy and hold investors, and in a hot market like Austin, you have to work harder to make a great deal.

Given that many of the hot markets are so competitive and the prices on turnkey-ish properties have already increased in these areas, such that it is hard to achieve the 1% recommendation.. 

All new TPO roof $10k, all new plumbing and 4 hot water heaters $10k, completely gutted all 4 kitchens $15k, 16 new windows $8K, interior paint throughout, 4 new toilets and vanities, flooring in 2 complete units.
