Hi Roger, I also live in Arizona. I live in Flagstaff and I'm hoping to own my first investment property by the end of the year. How many properties do you own in Yuma? I'd be interested to know how the market is over there. Also, any advice you have as far as managing your own properties. Thanks!

Hi Tim, 

Welcome to BP! So far I love this community (only been on here for a few months). I live in Flagstaff, AZ as well, born and raised. I am a local Real Estate agent. I work with Long Realty and represent Miramonte Homes at Switzer Canyon - Luxury Townhomes, I do resale as well. If you ever need a realtor, or have any real estate needs that I can assist with, I would be happy to! I hope you like BP as much as I do! I would love to know what types of investing you have done and what you've done. I am incredibly excited to start investing myself. Hope you have a great day, and welcome!

Interesting topic. I live in Flagstaff, AZ and it is crazy we have yet to have a good storm. I heard that this is the most dry winter in 80 years. I am interested to know more too. There is plenty of building going on in Flagstaff as well. Also, very interesting to hear about the city Gates is building near buckeye. I haven't seen much information on Arizona's water supply but I'm going to look into this as well. 

@Shaun Weekes

Hi Shaun, thanks so much for the advise. This is really interesting to me, and I have honestly never heard of F.I.A.'s I am definitely going to research and learn about this. I still have so much to learn about finances and ways to invest. Thank you for the idea, I am excited to look into this. 

@Alina : thanks so much for the comment, great strategy! It does make me nervous, but I need to step out of my comfort zone. I really appreciate the comment. 

@Alice: Hi Alice! I totally get your point, and thanks for commenting. Luckily I work for a brokerage that represents the builder and I am able to do re-sale as well. The builder I represent is great, so I've got some good money potential. 

@Omar: Omar, thanks for your thought out response, I really appreciate it. Everything you mentioned definitely makes sense and my husband and I really do need to sit down and refine our specific goals. Great point with the car debt, we kept going back and forth on if we should pay it off right away or not. I definitely need to pay off the student loan debt, luckily I don't have too much or credit cards. At this point for financing its pretty much just not having two years of job experience on my end. I never thought of location/mobility as a factor really, so knowing we don't want to leave Flagstaff (all our family is here) this helps me to decide what type of investments we want to go after. Again, I really appreciate your comment, thank you!

Thanks so much everyone for the suggestions! Sam Grooms, I honestly don't know what a syndication deal is so I will definitely research that, and yes I'm thankful to be able to do re-sale on the side, thanks for the suggestions. Jay Helms, great idea, so far I have only seen a few, but there are some out there! Amy Beth, I definitely agree with you and plan to pay off debts ASAP, hopefully I make good money this year and do it quickly. 

I am super excited to hop onto the House Hacking train and reach financial freedom before I am 30! I recently became a real estate agent and represent a fantastic builder in Flagstaff, AZ but I cannot get financing yet because of my job switch. I need a few years of income first and I will take the time to pay off some debt too. Since I cannot jump right into buying a small multifamily property, what investments or moves toward financial freedom can I make in the meantime? ANY and ALL ideas are much appreciated! Thank you!

From what I researched only Arizona and Illinois do not have regulations on this. So horrific to hear of these deaths! I live in Flagstaff, I currently rent, and we do not have one in our home. I plan to get one for our family. Recently many restaurants are through Flagstaff are getting them due to a death of an employee in town. 

Thanks James!

Thanks Joshiah and Dave, I appreciate it! I'm excited to dive right in.
