Single Family Homes for Sale in Phoenix
Hello!
My girlfriend and I are looking to buy our first single family home in the Phoenix area this April. This will most likely be our primary residence that we will occasionally have to rent out ( AirBnB or VRBO) for when we are out of town for extended periods of time for work. Where would be a good place to invest? We are open to all of the Phoenix Area ( Tempe, Chandler, Mesa, Peoria). It would be nice to still have access to walking paths, shopping, restaurants.
Thanks for your help!
Charley and Kia

This depends on whether you want this to be primarily your home or primarily an investment and also what type of investment. If you are looking at it as a short term rental you want to make sure there are no local restrictions in the various municipalities and pick something that is relatively close to tourist sites, convention centers, concert venues etc. If you are looking at a long term rental situation this may not deliver the best returns.
