That makes sense. Thanks for the help.!

I hear a lot about the positive cash flow from investing in smaller cities where there is less competition like Milwaukee or Cleveland and the lack of cash flow for places like New York City or Los Angeles. I may be moving to one of these larger cities for a new job in the coming months. Is there any significant advantages to investing in one of the country’s biggest cities? 

I am currently based out of Gilbert Arizona. It is close to Phoenix. I cannot find a carpenter or general contractor to install baseboards for a staircase and a bathroom. I am estimating this will cost 500-800 for labor and materials. I have tried reaching out to more than 15 places and I am not having much luck with people picking up the phone. When they do pick up they generally say it is too small of a job or that they do not specialize in that kind of thing. How do I find someone for this job and someone I might be able to use in the future as well?

For frame of reference, this is my first rental property and I am terrible with power tools.
