Consider doing an FHA loan for low down payment option (min 3.5%).

FHA loans (203b & 203k) allow the primary borrower to purchase a 1-4 unit residential property and you can even use up to 75% of the market value rent for the other units to help you qualify for the loan. You can also do mixed used residential with FHA loans.

Most rents are low but are increasing, and the low rents could make cashflow a bit more challenging. But a multi-unit property certainly helps a lot!

Phoenix real estate inventory is really, really low and demand from buyers is extremely high. So, it's quite difficult to find a "deal" today but not impossible.
