Looking for Property in Scottsdale, AZ

[Reid Ruckebeil]

A good friend of mine who recently moved to Scottsdale, would like to invest in her first property. She is currently renting. I am an investor from Kenosha, WI, so I don't have much knowledge of the market down. I have done a fair amount of research, but I was hoping the BP community could help me out. Is there any investor friendly agents that would be interested in helping me out, or is there any BP members looking to sell in the greater Scottsdale area. I appreciate any feedback or advice! 

Thank you, 

Reid

Scottsdale has a lot of different options. Previous posts mentioned Grayhawk; similar neighborhood up north is DC Ranch. Desert Ridge is good for access to the top 101 loop and shopping. Kierland (85260) is my favorite neighborhood, as they are over-sized properties (I currently own an acre lot here) with 80's custom builds; the entire neighborhood is on fire with massive rehab projects and prices are skyrocketing as net migration continues to buy here. The cheaper properties are in South Scottsdale, although it's still more expensive than the rest of the Phoenix metro area. Where someone buys in Scottsdale should depend on what they are looking for: 

No crime? Best Schools? Best access to shopping, golf, or airport? Larger lots? HOAs (or lack-thereof)? 

I'm happy to provide any additional information and answer questions your friend might have. I'm not an agent but am very well connected with some of the best agents locally; and I know the area very well and am happy to provide free assistance.

Best of luck!
