Shortly after we moved into our Scottsdale condo, we met with our business partners to tour a couple of foreclosed houses they bought at trustee sales. Here are 2 video tours where you can see 2 different houses in the north Phoenix area, one just acquired and one fully fixed up.

Home #1 – Desert Ridge House, Just Bought at Trustee Sale (Before Remodel)

Home #2 – NW Phoenix House, Fixed Up and Ready for Sale

As you can see, both houses are in good neighborhoods. They should both sell at a good profit for the flippers and investors. Now that we’re local, we can get more involved in this business.

We took the scenic route from Palos Verdes to Long Beach on the way back from visiting a friend. Here’s the video of our scenic drive along the coast in the neighborhood where David grew up. You’ll also see the ocean view home that we almost bought a few years ago and how we missed out on a couple million dollars worth of home equity!

We were in Scottsdale, AZ last week looking at properties for rent as well as houses that were bought by our partners at the trustee auction to fix up and re-sell. We toured 3 houses being prepared for re-sale, one of them was sale pending already.

House #1 – DC Ranch House Tour (Scottsdale, AZ)

House #2 – McDowell Mountain Ranch House Tour (Scottsdale, AZ)

House #3 – Custom House on Acreage (Scottsdale, AZ)

Looks like the fix-and-flip model is working in the Phoenix area and competition is heating up. Trustee sale bidding is getting pretty competitive for lower-priced houses so some investors (including our friends) are moving up market to higher-end homes with better margins.

We took a day trip to Temecula this Sunday.

First we met up with our friends Tom & Helen to look at some bank REO listings. According to an agent we spoke to, the REO listings under $200K are getting lots of bids. There are investors who fix up and flip the homes quickly, as well as those who rent them out while waiting to sell in a few years for profit.

We also checked out new homes for sale just for comparison. Here’s a video of us touring a model home priced in the $275K-$300K (before upgrades).

Later that day, we met up with Amber’s parents who are buying a new home in Winchester. We had dinner together with Amber’s parents and relatives in the area and made it back to Long Beach in good time (< 1.5 hr. drive).
