It's hard for college kids to find meaningful jobs that are teaching life skills or even worthy of a resume, especially with the high amount of competition of the unskilled college workforce.

I just did the refi on my rental property and found a local CU that offered as competitive rates then AIM Loans/Quicken Loans.

Hi Robert -There are good opportunities here, but competition heats up in the spring and supply has been limited.

Won't get double my money back for it.. but in a market were sales are competitive it will make my house sell before the next guy who put in builder grade appliances.

Regulations and laws are tough not to mention competition.

Are you comfortable buying anything in Tulum given the amount of building going on and planned and therefore the competition you'll face when renting? 

My concern is since they rely mainly on MLS to find you deals, is it not a waste of time since these Will be highly competitive.

Unlike the regular work force where it's just competition and who can keep their jobs and climb the ladder first and kiss their boss's behind - not my thing, though I have the highest respect for all those who work hard to bring food to the table (especially my father who's a cop).REI is also the best means I see of achieving the life I want.

Long made short, yes, huge opportunity and much much less competition, way way less, but that means the information is 1% as easy to find as all the other wholesale forms, but if you work your butt off, make contacts, network, oh yeah, super huge opportunity right now.

My goal is to buy at least 1-2 income properties in the next year, likely outside of AZ due to the cap rates here.Assuming the big banks like Wells Fargo will not be nearly as competitive on rates as some of the smaller banks but there are so many options in Phoenix, not too sure where to start.
