I'll hand it to Pace Morby tho- he is an amazing marketer. 

Before getting started, I’d recommend focusing on three key areas:Strategy Selection – Understand the different investment strategies (BRRRR, short-term rentals, etc.) and determine which aligns best with your goals.Market Research – Study the market you want to invest in, including property values, rental demand, and economic trends.Laying the Foundation – Take proactive steps now that will set you up for success later.

Why ask: A mentor who is actively involved in the market is more likely to offer relevant, real-time insights, strategies, and lessons learned.

What's your criteria for the market you're interested in? 

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about getting into the arbitrage space for awhile and midterm makes sense for my market.

Until the lease ends and then the legal notice time in your market has passed.

on the one hand, if you're happy with it, and you believe in this market, and this is what you wanted, great. the fact that you're asking the question shows that you're being thoughtful about it.with that said, it sounds like you're into the deal for almost $90K out of pocket, and so if you asked me if i would put $90K of my hard earned cash into a property to get $175 month, the answer is no. 

I won't be out-marketing anyone. 

With that said Phoenix had one of the highest home price declines in the last market down turn.  

Look at their marketing strategy.
