Investing in Pheonix,AZ from Los Angeles

[Sevan S.]

Hello,

I am looking at purchasing properties in Pheonix, AZ. I want to get a better understanding of markets that better for cash flow and those better for appreciation. I am looking for a 3 bed single-family/duplex between the $175k-$275k range. 

I also would love to make some new connections for realtors, property managers & contractors/handymen. 

I am planning to visit Pheonix in the next couple of weeks and would appreciate any tips on where to shop and look around.

Thank you in advance.
