If you haven’t already, I’d scope out the municipalities around town.. from what I read in The Economist, the Phoenix metropo area continues to rank high for job growth, which usually bodes well for new builds.

Sometimes it can take longer to place a *qualified* tenant into these properties as well so your vacancy can be a bit higher. 

Any good realtor will have a template or will be able to explain the whole process and how to navigate it well.

If borrowing against stocks is an option, do they have to be stocks held within the US and/or do Canadian stock investments count as well?

Hope that it works out well for you.

I'm in the Denton area and would love to know about local meetups in the north metro area as well. 

But THANK you for you information and hope to continue the conversation.

It will depend on your preferences and how well you think you will tolerate having a room mate as you approach a new life with your partner.
