Hey Carl welcome to BP! 

I know how you feel coming from California, I used to live in San Diego. It's definitely easier to invest out of state financially, but you can run into some issues without a good team in place in the market you're investing in. 

I moved to Phoenix and have been able to scale I believe a lot quicker than if I had stayed in San Diego. I'd be happy to connect and talk through the pros and cons of this market, but I have quite a few of my investors coming from out of state to invest here since they can tap into my network of GC's and service providers to manage the property if needed and get any work/maintenance done!

Shoot me a text!

Hey Matt, I moved to Phoenix myself a few years back from Seattle. Now I have a portfolio here of STR's and have helped multiple other out of state and new investors do the same, or reach their goals in whatever strategy they are wanting to move forward with (I started house hacking).

Phoenix is a great market for STR's with the great weather and the amount of concerts, sporting events, etc that take place here. This market is also appreciating with people moving from the coastal states out here, there's a reason Phoenix always ranks in the top 5 best places to invest year over year.


Would love to connect, I'll shoot you a PM!

Hey Keegan for the best return, I would say AZ. It is consistently ranks in the top 5 areas for real estate investing for a reason. 

There are multiple cities here in Maricopa County that would allow you to house hack and cash flow. I know a few investors that do it here in Tempe, Mesa, and Glendale - not to mention you can do it in Phoenix as well. 

I'd be happy to get on a call and discuss more about this market to get you a better idea of what to expect from AZ.

First off, great job on the savings and having a gameplan of what you want to do at your age! I am biased because I live here but Phoenix is a great market, it gets ranked #1 for investing all the time and it shows. 

House hacking I think is the best way to scale quickly and save money if you're willing to have roommates. There are multiple big properties here that you could rent out or even buying multifamily here would give you your own space and give you some landlord experience without having to live with your tenants. 


I also have a lender that has a loan product that will allow you to put $0 down on a home with an ADU that would add another rentable space to get income from. I'd love to connect, feel free to reach out to me for a call!

Hi Darrell,

I like your idea, it's a lot like what others do with SFH instead of MH but same strategy. There may be some restrictions on rentals in some of the MH parks, buying the MH's outright might be better than financing because there are some lending restrictions on older MH's.


Would love to connect and learn more about your education/real estate experience so far!
