Troy, what did you do?  I too lost over $40K on my flip at 6554 E dallas in Mesa.  Zillow shows you sold in March and "they" relisted in May for $80K more.  No weeds are shown and many more photos are now available.  

My contractor wanted to go cheap on the paint, we argued a lot.  So, it was all white inside and all one sheen, eggshell.  (if looking at photos, they were modified to look 2 tone) I guess after reading what folks said about your white/ grey, it is ok to go one color but at least change sheen on ceiling vs. walls.  But if you are going to change sheen, might as well change color too? Sorry, getting off subject. 

I just came to see market trends, nothing comes up if I pick Phoenix or Mesa. That's crazy. There is a local REIA here that gets the Cromford report, so there must be free data here that's similar.

 I am in the same pos'n.  When I learned of FIG, a fourplex investment, they had way too manny expenses siphoning away the profits that it was paying out 5-6% cash/cash.  So I passed, not near enough leverage.  Now 2 years later I don't know.  In phoenix, the used fourplexes are going for near $300 / sqr ft.  Yikes!  I missed the 40% appreciation from the fed's insane $9000 billion dollar money printing inflation ********. 

Has the options like camp grounds or storage penned out any better?  

Back to what you mentioned, your book!  I went into it like a reference book, not starting at chapter 1.  I'm eager to make money with a ETHICAL sponsor & hoping this book points out what to look for like the questions to ask in Chap 3.

How to handle confusion where something seems opposite to what I already have learned though? Case in point, in Chap 12:211, it says the CAP is highest for stable property! What? It's supposed to be lowest for those.

I'm only bringing this up Brian because as I read I make notes too.  But there's a lot yet to read and absorb of your experiences.  Thanks for the affordable book!

I wish to hear too.  Really, some bonehead can say he is a seller, and get money wired to him yet not even the title insurer has the big guns to go trace the bastard down?  No way!  It's that easy to forge and steal and get away?   My jaw is dropped...

Hell yes.  I'd be really pissed to learn firsthand and not have paid "the mafia" for protection.  This has been duly noted in my things to know notebook!   Get a title policy upfront.  Then pay for the above quoted services only after inspection is acceptable.
