The market is really picking up right now and the good deals are getting harder to find, but I am in the process of buying 3 buildings right now for a total of 9 more units to my existing 13 units.I only have 1 section 8 tenant an haven't had a major issue with the program.

@Cody Martin i agree with @Christopher Hunter laminate flooring home depot, lowes and train your tenants like children and dogs to bring them up right.

Always had an interest in houses, flipping and rentals but have allowed others to discourage me that it's too risky and I'm a woman.ha guess that's a sign of when I grew up. Right

Pricing went up right after we bought this and we shifted strategy to things other then Non Performing.Bob

I will set that up right away, thank you!

It does not have a ton of damage but will most likely take 12-15k to fix up right.

I'm tied up right now but hate to let it slip by.

I fix them up right away, factor in the holding costs/vacancy costs and get better tenants paying market rent and that way I offer a quality product and new tenants that are happy to pay my rent price because its updated.

Tempe is blowing up right now with development and lots of companies bringing jobs to the city.  

No, sorry, you should find your own deals ... it is an unrealistic and unwise expectation IMO that you should be able to casually waltz into any market and pick something up right off the MLS that is going to consistently net you great returns throughout the lifetime of ownership ... such "deals" like that are ones that all of the local investors have already long since picked over and rejected, and if a property seems as such it is probably because you are not familiar with investing and/or the market and you are missing something as in the example above.
