This was a great little rental in a good neighborhood. Initially it was difficult to find good tenants - people were still loosing jobs in Phoenix at the time of purchase.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

A good friend of mine generously shared her knowledge of the Phoenix metro area. The prices were great and the rent rates were stable - a win all around.

This was a short-sale property. Not much to negotiate at the time.

How did you finance this deal?

Traditional investment financing with 25% down.

How did you add value to the deal?

The house was in great condition at the time of purchase. I did a few updates in 2017 prior to sale.
