While the Cave Creek address for homeowners has spread far beyond the original town, Cave Creek is an iconic western town full of cowboys, saloons, rustic art, cafes, bull riding and during bike week, motorcycles galore. A great place to consider moving to but also a must visit when you are in Arizona. We are recording today from Janey's Coffee House. A gathering place for regulars and for folks looking for a cool hangout, live music, great coffee and wine. Check out their website for Music schedule: https://cavecreekazmusic.com/

Today, being prepared to make a real estate purchase is of greatest importance. The idea of timing the market has been a bit like chasing a rainbow for the pot of gold. A vast majority of real estate purchases happen when the life event drives the purchase or sale. With a solid long term appreciation history, trying to time the market based on price, mortgage rates or economic cycles usually means missing out on the true value of real estate. Life experience. #orangeistruth

Thank you to our Marines & Sailors!

We brought our power duo from Nations Lending, Mo Hamideh and Sabrina Jabbar, to share their own stories of real estate investing and what it can do for you! Sometimes just knowing your lending options can determine if an investment property is in your future. Age, income, and experience have less to do with it than you might think. What else should you know before you invest?

*We've all heard about the American dream of homeownership, but what about an investor's American dream? Whether it's office, retail, industrial, or apartments, it seems the world of commercial real estate brings more complex requirements to the table than that of common residential properties.
Eric Forshee and Dan Zlatek join us to give their industry insight on how to navigate the commercial market, what to consider for the lending process, and where to get the right guidance if you're thinking about investing in commercial property.*

Louis McCall and Taylor Jasper join us as we tackle the topic of real estate investing and all of its wealth building benefits. Where is real estate investing now? Can we still expect to see the returns everyone talks about? Let's discuss the strategy, scalability, and delayed gratification of it all.
Our guests also share a strong interest in firearms, so we'll get their thoughts on proper safety practices and things to know if you carry, or consider carrying. As one of the most gun-friendly states, Arizona residents are able to enjoy relaxed regulations on open and concealed carry.
*While Arizona is already the tourism destination of the southwest, it's starting to get some extra attention for its Airbnb opportunity. The combination of diverse properties, high rental income, and friendly short-terms rental regulations bring unlimited potential to small scale investors, as well as many others within the home-sharing economy.
Today we dive in to decide whether to Airbnb, or not to be. Are investment properties worth it? What are the things to watch out for? Our guests include industry experts that help us factor in all the things that go into a short-term rental property, along with a little overview of Doug Ducey's new 3-Strike Rule and the newest requirements for short-term rental owners.*
*What a winning combination: wine and income taxes! What's one without the other?
Our guests today help run the show at our office, so we thought we'd bring them on to discuss some of their specialties. Shane, honorable Saskatonian and lover of hockey, gives us some insight on the 1980 tax law that affects foreign persons selling U.S. real estate.
As much as we love to hear about the never-ending wants and needs of Uncle Sam, we try to balance it all out with something to take the edge off: Amanda, our Arizona wine aficionado, shows us that in this dry, dusty desert...all we really need is a nice glass of wine. Arizona has spent some of the recent years perfecting the popular varietals that our fellow "cork dorks" love and enjoy. Wine country here is growing by the season, so let us clue you in where to go for your next glass.
Hit play, relax, and enjoy!*
As a parent, a concerned citizen, or even as someone that just wants to know what the heck is going on in their state, we all know education is a big deal. We took some time this episode to sit down with some education expert parents that gave us their perspective on what Arizona K-12 education has to offer.
Our two guests do have some mixed opinions on how parents should do their "homework" on Arizona schools, but since we highly encourage the opinionated and the unfiltered on this podcast, all perspectives are welcome. Enjoy!
As football season is quickly approaching, we know many of us are already wondering what kind of havoc we'll be in for when Arizona hosts the 2023 Super Bowl. Let's talk stats, tourism, and revenue for this great ol' American game. We'll also speak on some of the other events and affairs that draw people to visit our great state all throughout the year as well. Don't ask why, but we've even got a little donkey and alien business to discuss--thanks, Taylor.
For guests we have the heir to the Jasper throne joining us today, Taylor Jasper, along with the another one of our well informed agents, Miranda Jenkins. Let's dive right in, shall we?
This week we bring on a couple of our highly seasoned agents, Ryan Rybarczyk and April Mauch, to join us while we answer some more questions from our Moving to Arizona Facebook page. We'll brush up on our AZ property tax knowledge and go into everything there is to know about the wild, wild wildlife here in the sunny state of the southwest.
Being that we all know and love the irresistible topic that is real estate, we'll also take a moment to fill you in on the latest market data that's come across our desks (or emails, for the paperless). Enjoy!
Our Moving to Arizona Facebook page has established itself as a resource for those that want to know what it's like to call Arizona "home." We've taken some of the best questions, and agents, to give you the answers you need. So whether you're wondering about Daylight Savings, dust storms, or other desert wonders, we'll keep going down the list.
We mentioned the https://www.alltrails.com/ website as an excellent resource for every hiking need-to-know.
Enjoy Part 1.
