They even sent someone from the city to the house to tell us to stop operating it as a STR. 

A way to meet all your investing requirements.From someone you trust.That was me.

there are a lot of projects just waiting for someone who wants to renovate, they pretty much have to sell to an investor, so good opportunities.

Hi @Mason Weiss,Thanks for the compliment on my research, it's nice to have some open dialogue with someone familiar with the Phoenix market!

You need someone with boots on the ground and someone who has done this before.

Is there someone willing to guide me through this process?

Another idea is to partner with someone who is located in PR and better understands the market. 

Nice to hear from someone who grew up in the area! 

Theres someone living in the side that I will be occupying until the 1st of February, but since I JUST became the owner, would it make sense to reach out and ask them something like "Hey its __ the new owner, just checking in to see how you're doing.

I think it depends on whether you have someone that you can trust in that market.
