Hey @Austin G.. I've thought about it, would love to do it... but it's tough because of my 70lb pitbull lol. If I travel, it would have to be with him and it's tough, if I get a roommate they would have to love him, and that's tough. So it's not as practical as I'd like.

Hello everyone. I have a great job, can qualify for loans, am looking to buy my first investment property now that I bought my first home. I live in Phoenix, AZ. My problem is that I can't find any good deals on the MLS, neither multi family properties nor SFH... Everything is so expensive relative to the rents I'm likely to collect. What would you suggest I do?

-Do I buy a non-cashflowing property and bet on appreciation in the Phoenix area? Or is that a stupid idea?

-How do I put my cold-calling, script writing skills to work NOW? Do I buy leads or should I practice honing my pitch for free at first?

I have the broad strokes of what I should do but I just need a little nuts-and-bolts guidance from some good people. If you have any ideas or know an investor in the Phoenix are I can cold call for maybe, let me know. Hey @Ben Leybovich, got any insight for newbie in your neck of the woods? :)

Hey there, Brett! I did! Chris is awesome! Thanks so much for the referral. We found a beautiful 2br 2bath condo that was just a perfect fit for me. All seems to be set, just waiting on the appraisal, and hopefully locking it up in the next two weeks! 

Thank you, Geoff. Hope we get a chance to connect soon once I'm down there. Any good RE meetups in your area? 

Hey Guys, I'm just 2 weeks away from moving into my first home in Phoenix, AZ... I plan to live in it, so I don't yet consider myself an investor BUT I do want to start wholesaling ASAP! My background is in sales, I'm a beast if i may say so :). So I think I'll do well. I'm willing to invest $2,000/mo in advertising. My question is, with how hot the Phoenix market is currently, is there still abundant opportunity for new wholesalers in that area? Or am I better off focusing on other AZ markets? If so, which? Thanks so much!
