They also benefit from strong schools, which can be a huge draw for long-term tenants.While you may not achieve high cash flow immediately in these areas, the property values and rents tend to appreciate steadily over time, aligning well with your goals.

Happy to send you some referrals :)

Also, any referrals to realtors who specialize in this sort of strategy would be appreciated.

These areas tend to have more affordable properties compared to central Phoenix and still offer strong rental demand and appreciation potential.
