I called VRBO CS and they told me that this woman actually reported my profile. 

If you’re looking for a good balance between appreciation and cash flow, there’s a lot of opportunity in suburbs to the west, including Adamsville, Forestdale, Pleasant Grove, and the like.If you’re open to nearby markets as well, Tuscaloosa could also be a fast-growing spot with strong student tenants worth looking into.

@Blair Ross Jr Using the actual local utility to submeter or separate utilities is the best way as they have the authority to shut the utility off if the tenant fails to pay.

The issue I see is that market has historical appreciation below average (not bad, but slightly poor).  

You'll want to use the same % ratio between building and land; not the actual amount/value listed.  

I realize off-markets are best but which have you been more successful with: pre-foreclosures, probate properties, etc. 

It’s crazy how much a listing can sit just because it’s priced too high for the market, even if the property looks great.

You do not actually need to go that deep to repair this problem.

  $1 of debt in year one, will only be worth say $.10 in year 20; someone can do the actual amort table. 

Does anyone have a map breaking down the Phoenix market area ?
