Buying a SFR in Arizona for the first time

[Hailey Sexton]

Hi,

I'm looking to move down to AZ possibly for school. And I'm interested in a buying a house. I'd have very little money to put down. I'd like to buy a house to rent out the rooms while I'm in school and then rent out the property once I'm done with school.

If anyone has any agent recommendations or advice. I've never bought a house before.

Cheers!

Hi @Hailey Sexton, welcome! Awesome idea! 

I am also an investor from Tucson, and I own a few rentals near the UofA. Feel free to contact through private message for specific questions!

Also, I recommend picking up a copy of @Craig Curelop’s book, “The House Hacking Strategy” from the BP Store, or audible. It’s an awesome intro into what you’re looking to do. With that said, in regard to a USDA loan, I think Tucson may not qualify. I just learned this from Craig’s book, but those loans are particular about population size, I think 30-35k people, and Tucson has close to half a million. But, definitely worth more research as I haven’t gone the USDA route.

Again, welcome!
