You can pick up a 3-4 bedroom in San Tan Valley for 400k.  

Would be able to deduct $11k in improvements + 4% commission.Looking at possibly buying a 3200sf, 4/3.5, 4-car garage new construction home on 1 acre on a cul-de-sac in a gated community for $795k about 8 miles south in San Tan Valley, AZ.

Will they add value to your apartments, you could ask an appraiser.They will change the look of the building somewhat.Why are the stair floors black and the balcony floors tan vs matching (???)

The rental market is hot right now so it probably wont matter, but in normal times, I like to pay a bit extra to get a 2-tone paint (tan/white trim) to make the unit stand out a bit, but again, just preference - I don't think either get you more in rent. 

Thank you for sharing @Donah Tan ! 

Hey @Joshua Tan. 

@Matt Magill there are definitely deals to be found in AZ still but it definitely depends on what you’re looking for in an investment (Appreciation or Cash-Flow) You might want to look at some cities in the AZ area that are growing rapidly like Queen Creek, San Tan Valley and Gilbert.

@Tim Lee - A few names to lookup:- Peter Fortunato- John Schaub- Gary Johnston- Dyches Boddiford- Bill Tan- Dawn Rickabaugh- Bill Cook- Tracy Z- Jimmy Napier (he passed away, but his book "Invest In Debt" is out there if you search for it)- Mike Cantu- David TilneyMany teaching creative finance today, learned from those listed above, or from someone who learned from those above (and some of the above learned from Jack Miller who you can also lookup).
