Kenneth:

Good morning, and welcome to BP! Here's some food for thought:

Before you make your first investment, meet with a mortgage/financial professional. They'll ask you to share your short- AND long-term goals, and then they'll help you construct a plan that will do two things:

1. Achieve your short-term goals that will produce proceeds and resources that will,

2. Give you the wherewithal to pursue and achieve your long-term goals

Many investors start off "too hot", and they either overdevelop their first property or they spend their money too fast: either of these behaviors will stop you dead in your tracks, and you probably won't even be able to achieve your short-term goals - and you certainly won't have the resources to pursue your long-term goals. Since you're not paying a mortgage pro for consulting, it's in their best interest to give you a solid plan so you're successful.

I wish you the very best!

Mesa and Tempe are pretty hot right now for flips.  Lots of old families moving out or older folks passing and leaving properties to kids who are out of state and just want out - lots in need of a little TLC to be rent ready if you buy and hold too...

@Kenneth Liu Welcome to BP!  I'm guessing Orange County is a bit of a tough place to get started in RE investment when a flip starts at $500k!?  I'm in east/southeast metro Phoenix area and primarily try to stay in the area for my investments.  If I can help out in any way feel free to reach out.
