For a yearly lease agreement specific to Phoenix, AZ, you might consider starting with the Arizona Association of REALTORS® (AAR) or another local real estate organization.

I do have a very specific and curated buy box, so I know what i'm looking for in terms of zoning, lot size, buildable/improvable sqft, location, etc.With that being said, do you still not recommend going through sheriff sales?

@Julie Doke: Industry specific software speaks to you and you can easily relate it to your day to day process.

I also use their virtual credit cards which enables me to assign a card to a specific person, like the cleaner for my STR for example, so when she runs a charge, it automatically drops into the right account in terms of categorizing my expenses.

I can also share some great resources and guides to get you started.Let me know what specifically you're looking to learn, and we can set up a time to talk.
