What's actually happening on Tempe files right now
If your Tempe property is non-owner-occupied, the AZ anti-deficiency statute (A.R.S. § 33-814) may not protect you the same way. Get clarity on that before you make any decision — a single misstep can cost you six figures in deficiency exposure.
Most common distress trigger here
ASU enrollment swings, ADU/STR investor over-leverage, and 2021-vintage cash-out refis going underwater.
