Here is a piece that I wrote for homebuyersearchaz.com. It gives insight in what sellers are thinking now as they contemplate selling their homes.

This is a good list but I would add one thing to this when looking for real estate investment in Mesa and Phoenix Arizona. Look for a good property manager who knows the area. A good property manager can look at a property and tell you if it is good or bad.
Who do you consult when purchasing an investment property
If you are a home owner and trying to sell your home you want it to have the best curb appeal possible and make the house attractive to potential buyers. So the question is why wouldn’t you want the same thing if you are renting a house or an apartment? Continue reading
