Money making with baby boomers in the Southwest - Posted by Kelley Connors

Are you looking for steady cash flow or to make a living at this doing deals with quickly turning over homes. I live in Arizona and has been the #1 growth area in the country along with Nevada. I moved out here to capitalize on the booming construction industry and to buy these homes while they are less as expensive as back in NY where i am from. I am looking to maybe partner up with some investors on some rehabs if anyone is interested. Maybe you could email me. I guess rentals are growing. They are building here like crazy, but i think with todays rates everyone wants to buy. Rentals here are mostly big complexes with all the bells and whistles. And with them giving away 2 months free rent and $99 move in, there is alot of competition for the dollars. But if you are looking for some fixer uppers or forclosures to wholesale / retail, L/O is what i think the key is. HTH. Mike S. AZ

I would like to get some opinions here from the group: I’d like to take some of the equity out of my current house ( I have a few hundred thousand, according to current market value) and use about $100K to buy several homes in sunbelt areas where baby boomers are destined to live…or at least I have heard about trends to this effect. What do you think about buying a few houses in New Mexico, Arizona or Nevada…hopefully getting rental income for ten years and then selling for profit?

Can someone give me some realistic data here?
I would appreciate it!
