I myself am looking to secure my first deal in northern Arizona and look forward to reading the responses from experienced investors here. 

Quote from @Jerome Boudreaux: @Jaycee Greene Thank you for the response, I have found multiple of each (SF & Duplexes) one duplex and two SF have caught my interest.

Have a clause in your lease that landlord is NOT responsible for battery issues - tenant is.

You can see them, but when you click on them you get this response:

Please post your due diligence checklist for the syndication investment you did.The two responses above will determine if you should invest in Syndications. 

We have allowed tenants to resolve past due debts or provide letters from previous apartment complexes confirming that damages or unpaid rent were not their responsibility.

Send a couple hundred a month so you can digest the responses. 

I appreciate the detailed response!

(Please don’t tell me you will lend anonymously to those you met here or on the web).Title/Fire/Hazard Insurance Requirements: Not part of this list but what will be your insurance requirements?

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.
