Good evening BP world,I am looking to make some contacts, specifically RE agents and hands-on investors in the phoenix area, in order to start acquiring some value add SFH investment properties.

Hunter puts on one for hotels in Atlanta every year.Another idea that might work is find out if there are any CCIM classes or combination of classes going on in the cities where you want to work. 

Quote from @Aaron Letzeiser: REVISED CODE@Aaron LetzeiserI was hoping to work with Obie, but on the last page before signing the documents, I came across this disclaimer, which made me rethink my decision. 

But again our goal was flipping not holding.Sounds like you and Mitch are on the same page.

@Juliann Morala Yep, a buyers agent that works exclusively with investors will have all the info you need and lots of options on contractors, lenders, attorneys, inspectors, property managers.

And up-front costs to deliver quality are not cheap. 

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Yes, you can do a refinance to tap some more of the equity on the property.

It's been 2.5 years since I purchased my first property and now that everything in my personal life has slowed down I'm back on the horse and ready to find my next investment.

The new buyer could certainly scale back on the "curb appeal".
