You also don’t have to deal with water intrusion in AZ, which is a big thing back in the mid-west and colder climates, with potential for pipe breaks if an AC goes out.

I'll re-word that "if you live an expensive location, e.g West Coast (California, Oregon, Washington) or East Coast (NYC, Boston, cities in NJ)" it's better to house hack or find something within driving distance (2 to 3 hours) where you can check on the properties.

That's the unknown about the new build spec homes in the West Valley- You never know how a neighborhood is going to turn out until it's more established. 

I have just started doing deals on the east coast ( 3 years ago) were titles are MUCH older than out here in the west coast especially recent lot block subdivision type properties.Very common occurance for us these days I have 2 going now ( quiet titles) for the same reasons some relatives were not notified they need to sign off.. of course they can't be found and are probably dead.Seller inherited property.. old owner never bothered to get divorced or probate estate etc.Not sure the value of the asset in question so the value proposition is very real.

Ok ok, so technically there is theoretically a second way; a meteorite strikes the east coast or west coast and takes out 32 million people in 1 fell swoop. 

It is likely that in most markets away from the west coast, they will see growth in population and increase in values.

Having been born and raised out West in Nevada, I fell in love with Alabama and Southern BBQ. 

I'm looking for some referrals to contractors that service the West End neighborhood of Atlanta, GA. 

I have found most of my properties on the MLS but in the area I am investing (west tn , north of Memphis ) I have hit a crossroads with available deals.
