STR in Arizona? Glendale, Peoria, Surprise

[Dallas Easter]

On the newer side of RE investing. I have one LTR in Indy and I'm intrigued with the idea of STR's after reading Avery Carl's book "short term rental long term wealth." My wife and I really have enjoyed visiting these areas of AZ when we have vacationed down there but I have no idea if getting a vacation home to rent out in these areas would be a good investment in these markets. We would obviously like to invest in places we want to visit as well. Does anyone have any experience with STRs in AZ? SFH vs townhome vs condo, etc. Anything I should know about that I could be missing or overlooking?
