Hey Matt, I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker but it depends on the target market for this property. If you're trying to get traveling nurses or single professionals then the tub shouldn't be a deal breaker. 

If you're looking to target a family with young kids or older folks then you may want to consider it a little more in depth as these people may need a tub. Since you have one in the hall that should be fine either way though honestly. If you were in Sun City with the older population it may be a deal breaker but I don't think so in Mesa.

This is awesome Aaron! 

I'd love to connect sometime, I live in Phoenix and work with mainly fix and flippers. Would love to hear about some of the challenges you had, local contractors and suppliers you used, and see some more of the before/after. 

Hey Natasha, I was looking for the same type of properties in the area just a few months ago. Have a few areas in mind that typically have good options. 

Definitely areas you can break even or cash flow on multifamily properties here, message me and I'm happy to get on a call!

Hi Anya, my partner and I have an STR out in Mesa and are closing on another in the next few weeks. Happy to add some insight into that market, feel free to reach out to me!

Hey Jimmy, feel free to reach out there's a few different avenues you can take. Like @Jeremy Holden said above, sub2 could be a good option for you, he's a great resource to lean on in this market as well.

Hey Josue, happy to connect, I was looking for multifamily just a few months ago and have some good areas in mind down here!

Shoot me a text, would love to grab coffee, always good to have some local connections!

 Yeah good point, usually in installments when milestones are hit. Like ok the bathrooms are done, pay them a certain amount. Or you can do it the other way where you give them the money piece by piece for them to use for materials, then you pay for labor after it's completed. 

Once you do have a good, consistent contractor you work well with you can also try to have them buy into the deal so they get a percentage of the profits and they put money in the deal. Or they're incentivized to get the project done by a certain date and they will get x in return - keep in mind that can be a slippery slope if they rush to get things done and cut corners.

Hi Gina, sending you a PM. I'm in the Phoenix market, you can still find good prices off/on market and get good spread on deals all over out here. Happy to talk with you about this market!

 Hey Willis I'm an agent in Phoenix working mainly with fix and flippers. I'd say the biggest issue I've seen is not having the right contractor/service providers. You have to make sure they do quality work and communicate well, otherwise you're held hostage. 

How they overcame it is either finish out the project and don't use them again or cut them loose and get a new contractor to finish the work!

Hey Dani, sent you a PM. I work with flippers in the Phoenix market - would be happy to offer some advice.
