        <Name>Real Estate Along The Phoenix Metro Light Rail May Be A Good Investment</Name>
        <Summary>Office and Apartment Rents are up in Phoenix, but more so along the light rail.</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I wrote, a few days ago, that&lt;a title="phoenix rental rates, phoenix real estate" href="item/176550" target="_blank"&gt; rents in Phoenix&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;were higher over last year and that this trend was common to many of the western states.&amp;nbsp; Well, some areas within Phoenix have had greater than average rental growth and lower vacancies.&amp;nbsp; One of those areas is along the &lt;a title="about the phoenix light rail, phoenix real estate," href="http://www.valleymetro.org/METRO_light_rail/" target="_blank"&gt;Metro Light Rail Route&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="Phoenix metro light rail information, about the phoenix light rail" hspace="0" src="http://www.valleymetro.org/METRO_light_rail/images/whatisrail/index-1.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Photo is from Metro Light Rail Website&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I can concur with this as all of my rental homes and multifamily apartments along the light rail route have had very generous rent increases, more so than in other areas.&amp;nbsp; This, despite the fact that its not done yet.&amp;nbsp; But, the buzz is out and people are getting ready.&amp;nbsp; For some, looking for office space in Central Corridor its a shock as explained in &lt;a title="office rents in the central corridor in phoenix, central phoenix," href="http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/business/articles/0717biz-centralcorridor0718-ON.html" target="_blank"&gt;this article on AZCentral.com&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Several of my colleagues who study the commercial market and multifamily market closely agree that, at least, for the next few years this will be a good place to put your real estate money.&amp;nbsp; I agree, and that is exactly what I recommend and what I am doing.&amp;nbsp; If you are interested in purchasing real estate, especially&amp;nbsp;multifamily&amp;nbsp;investment apartments&amp;nbsp;along the Phoenix Metro Light Rail call me, Artur at 602.628.4349.&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
