Renting Near Scottsdale Arizona

[Shane Paeper]

Hey Bigger Pockets,

I'm just out of college and got a new job up in the Scottsdale area and in the next couple months I'm looking to start renting a bit closer to where I work (near the 101 and Raintree). I'm not limited to Scottsdale only, but I'd like to live within around 10 miles of work. I was wondering what kind of things I should be aware of when looking into apartments/housing . Any advice about leases, landlords, or specific recommendations near Scottsdale or Tempe would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!
