@Kevin Connauton, I agree with you that although Pad Split is a great choice for getting the rooms filled, they don't cover all your bases in terms of property management.

Less than what they get in the burbs in terms of wealth generation. 

Quote from @Nithin Kumar: New to Phoenix and hearing a lot of places for rental investments but trying to figure out from the pro's around to find what are the areas that can break-even on a monthly basis and the areas that can show appreciation in the nearer term. planning to put down payment of 30% (~100k) Hi Nithin, I live in North Phoenix myself and would recommend anything around the Paradise Valley Mall area.

With your primary residence, things can be pretty straight forward in terms of splitting mortgage interest, real estate taxes etc. on your returns.If you go into a rental property, there are a lot of considerations to think about.

Hard money and private investing are both ways to finance flips, but they work a little differently.Hard money loans are typically from companies or private lenders that specialize in short-term, high-interest loans.

I’d love to hear more about what you’re targeting in terms of property type and location.

If you can find a fixer at a good price, with room for an ADU, and the comps are good, then you have a deal.Are you planning on flipping or long-term holds?

For investors, the current market presents a mixed bag: while short-term rental income may be lower, Miami remains a strong market for long-term growth as affordability attracts more tenants.What’s your take on Miami’s rental market?

The East Rock area of New Haven (near Yale) is a huge outlier in terms of pricing, very expensive.
