Investing in Phoenix for rentals

[Isabella Donadio]

Hi everyone, 

I'm new here and looking to get started in RE investing for rentals. I've done quite a bit of research on Phoenix, AZ so far and was wondering if I could get some honest opinions from those of you that have purchased investment properties here already. 

What neighborhoods/areas did you chose? 

Where you able to rent the property immediately? How did you rent it? Via realtor or did you do it yourself? Do you have a property manager?

Are single family homes further away from the city more desirable than apartments/condos downtown, or vice-versa?

And finally, does anyone worry that Phoenix is in a real estate investment bubble?
