It's not perfect, no place is, but of the choices available it should rank very high on the list.Phoenix doesn't have hurricanes like the deep south and the east coast.

So, like @Michael Wagner previously mentioned you really have to do a deep dive on the local market of any facility you are looking at purchasing.  

To wholesale a property, you must buy at deep enough discount that you can sell to an investor who can rehab and also make profit.To buy and sell ANY property, you must know:The true after-repaired-value (which you cannot find on free sites like Zillow.

Any property valued at 330K with rent at a measly $1600 will be so deep into negative cash flow long term that you will lose more money that you can ever imagine.

But you dont have to be filthy rich with lots of cash to do it...though lots of cash never hurts lol.they had to find a deep pocket partner and one with experience banks simply don't make large multi family loans based on land value and no experience..

BTW the house is an early 80s build 3/2/2 in a pretty dense neighborhood, not a lonely rickety 120 year old house in the deep woods, just in case anyone was wondering.

And yes, i would assume the whole house would need a deep cleaning afterwards.  

With my professional connections, I can get a lot of construction labor and materials at deep discounts, however I should plan for it.  

I will take a deep dive into information you sent over and reach out if i have more questions.
