We would prefer not to sell anything off at this time and plan on owning these properties for a few more decades (although we have considered selling some for various reasons). 

I inquired about the area codes they prefer, the types of houses, the kind of work they are looking to do on the properties, and other details that would help me locate a deal for them.

I live in Goodyear so somewhere in the west valley is preferred but I'm willing to work anywhere in Phoenix really.Any suggestions?

Regarding preference of red vs blue, for many, it's not about profit and more about values and/or peace of mind (i.e., housing a squatter is infuriating).

Are there favorite areas or neighborhoods you prefer, and why? 

At the end of the day, I'd say it's more of a personal preference.

Hey all.I'm looking to invest in 4-6 syndications in the next 6 months, and would appreciate receiving recommendations on syndication companies that are known, and trustworthy, and preferably that you worked with. 

@Brandon Morgan some of this is personal preference and also based on how much time you have.

Personally I'd feel comfortable with a 5-1 ARM. 5 years is a long time to refinance or sell - preferably the former.

Ultimately I think it is very area dependent but I personally prefer to use the funds that you would use towards arbitrage in buying a property that you own so that you can start building long term wealth.
