Design happens to be one of my passions, and I’d love to help you brainstorm ideas or suggest some cost-effective design solutions that could work for your project.If you’d like, feel free to share some details about the style you’re aiming for or any preferences you have.

@Vincent WeselakIt’s a good idea to get an estimate for your insurance costs upfront since this can vary based on the property type and location, and it’s a key factor in evaluating your cash flow. 

A $107k NOI with a 43% expense ratio is impressive, even with rising costs like taxes, insurance, and utilities.

Offering a maybe 10% discount will help grease the wheels and the cost is small.

Not to mention the general PHX market has become expensive and people have already been looking for cost efficient alternatives in the northwest and southeast corners of the valley. 

Your construction skills can give you a significant advantage, allowing you to save on rehab costs or even flip properties for capital.

No but keep track of those repairs as it will add to your cost basis when you go to sell it and have to pay capital gains.

What they will offer you is an appliance package, or closing cost help, or a low fixed rate loan. 

Granted there is a cost in hiring an agent, Having someone analyze each deal with localized knowledge is worth its weight in gold.

Having a real estate license, I would credit the commission payed out I would receive for being my own agent towards closing costs for the new property.
