Rookie looking for advice

[Scott Davidson]

I'm military stationed in Anchorage, AK. I've Been looking for a house in the Phoenix area for the last 18 months and have lost out on approximately 12 deals. I know that buying in a hot market such as Phoenix, I'm at a total disadvantage due to not being boots on the ground there and not having a team assembled from the local area to rehab for a BRRR. I'm trying to stay positive and continue until I finally succeed on purchasing a place.

My wife and I are flying down next weekend for our second attempt being down there to really pursue this.  If anyone has tips/advice I'd greatly appreciate any assistance or coaching.  If anyone from the local market would be up for meeting up for coffee or anything, let me know.  Hell, if anyone has a wholesale I'd be open to that as well.
