New to Phoenix. FTHB. Any referrals out there? Thanks!

[Randall Leese]

Hi Everyone! First off, thanks for making this such a great community. It's humbling how many knowledgeable, supportive, and generally rad people there are on here!

I just moved to the area from N Idaho; I'm an RN in the ICU at Banner U, and I'm looking to buy my first home here. Prices are a little discouraging. Is it even possible to find something that meets the 1% rule? Anyone house-hacking? Curious how people make it work. Maybe it's better to wait and see if there's a 40% further downturn like some are forecasting.

With that, any referrals to an investor-friendly agent or wholesalers and/or general tips would be awesome.

Cheers guys!
Randall
