West Valley cities like Buckeye and Avondale, East Valley spots like Apache Junction and Mesa, or growing areas like Casa Grande and Maricopa are worth exploring.

In total it took 8 months to complete... a simple cosmetic flip on a 1200sqr ft house in a neighborhood that wasnt asking for much.

But if you know any other resources or great spots to get started, please share them! 

@Matthew C. sounds like you bought in a low demand neighborhood.  

This area is not only become a very hot tourist spot but a place to retire and hide.  

That area is appreciating and is a great spot for those that want the convenience of Southend and walkability.

So I am not very familiar with PadSplit @Najhae Robinson.All I know is the neighborhood backlash, the nightmare stories and the like.I have heard nothing positive about it.Oftentimes they violate the STR restrictions in cities because they will rent to anyone for any length of time.I would never look at this as a business model personally.

Will you continue to buy in that neighborhood with your next purchase @Teslim Salami?

Community engagement: Homeowners have a greater financial stake in their neighborhoods and are more likely to invest in their local communities.

I’ve heard a lot about BRRRR, fix-and-flip, and rental properties, but I’m curious about what’s working for you all right now.I know from talking to people that some have gotten into bad deals while using their own money, and I’m worried that using bank funding and ending up in a bad deal could make things even worse—not just for the investment but for the relationship with the bank as well.I’m just trying to make sure my clients use this funding in the right way, without getting themselves into a tough spot.
