Following are what I see as patterns emerging from the podcasting space & some things to watch out for:How much true substance is provided on air?

Here in Phoenix, we are experiencing a steady pattern of appreciation in the overall market as is the case with many other U.S. real estate markets.

I'm looking to do some statistical computing to analyze pricing patterns, demand metrics, bubble risk, etc.Most of the data sets I see out there are either limited in observation or are just downright messy.

Sounds like you already had a pattern of paying.

Also, if you have a more modern unit, they have some pretty trendy patterns available, just FYI, and your higher-end tenants might appreciate it. 

As you can see, they have a pattern of not honoring their word, so their "agreement "means squat.

Mostly consists of Millennials entering their prime "settle-down" years who are realizing they'll never afford a home for their family in the Bay Area, and Boomers and Gen X'ers who just sold Grandpa's house in San Jose for over a million and can come out here and buy something all-cash and still have plenty of money left over to retire with.I have written more about this migration pattern here if you want to know more:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/621/topics/396725-millennial-migration-to-sacramento-2017---here-comes-the-rushFor some B class neighborhoods, I would recommend that you try looking in North Oak Park, Arden-Arcade, Carmichael, and the area South of 50, East of 99, and North of Fruitridge Rd.

I have a question I love to ask in boardrooms because it's such a "pattern interrupt": "How much money can you AFFORD to 'save'?"

When you sell a rental property at some point in the future (at least a year out), this is not viewed as a flip transaction, but rather just a reallocation of the IRA from holding passive real estate to holding cash.Your example of buy, fix, rent for 3 months, then sell would likely be viewed as a flip, especially if you repeated this pattern with multiple properties.The IRS does not define a "flip" in clear terms, but has a full set of measures they would apply to real estate transactions to determine whether something is a passive investment or a trade or business activity similar to competing commercial enterprises.  

Another town listed on your profile that I'm not familiar with, I see a pattern here!
