I don't do any marketing. 2.

The market in Scottsdale is cheaper than the Seattle market to buy, however, the rental market is a bit higher, so we would likely be renting for around $6k-$7k/mo. 

Local REIA groups and meetups (check Meetup.com or BiggerPockets) are excellent for connecting with both new and experienced investors.I’d be happy to grab coffee and chat about the market or share insights.

We don't want to bring on every owner or every property unless they fit within our target market, so, I do the far majority of the sales - this is our check and balance.

Not familiar with those markets, but here is my experience starting at 22 and what I regret after house hacking twice: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/922/topics/1133476-hous...

Have you scoped out a market yet?

A true levelized cost of energy (what the true price would be if it were an actual free market) gets very complicated quickly and it's basically impossible to calculate accurately due to the energy industry being so heavily manipulated by incentives from the government for so long, across all forms of energy. 

Good market or not so much thx 

I know a little about the phoenix market and agree it is growing.
