The Real Estate Impact Of The Arizona Immigration Law
While it’s certain that lawmakers were aware that the new Arizona immigration law requiring everyone in Arizona to carry proof of U.S. citizenship would make some waves, it’s unlikely that they expected those waves to take the form of a foreclosure tsunami on the housing market in areas like Phoenix.

The Politics of Real Estate
Few industries are as profoundly impacted by the political machinations in Washington as the real estate industry. Whether it's old legislation like Jimmy Carter's Community Reinvestment Act or Barack Obama's massive mortgage bailouts, the U.S. political machine has a huge impact (usually bad) on the business of real estate.
Ideally, we could ignore politics. But here at the Bryan Ellis Real Estate Letter, we insist on seeing the world with clarity - including the reality of Washington's aggressive involvement in every facet of our business, from mortgage lending to real estate sales license; from loan modification regulations to appraisal requirements... every piece of our business is profoundly impacted by politics. So rather than stick our heads in the sand and ignore reality, readers of the Bryan Ellis Real Estate Letter choose to be informed and prepared.
