or in the 700's because most people think they have perfect credit.You also have to know occupancy type like primary, vacation, investment, how many units, LTV/CLTV, Term, Fixed or Variable, Prepay or No prepay, Loan size etc.

Given the competitiveness in Scottsdale, exploring duplexes or triplexes might be a more feasible alternative to larger multi-family units.

I’m also a long term equity guy, so just having tenant pay my mortgage is enough of a deal in current climate.On the positive rents are very high for this area and even this time of year when normally I’d see no leads for an open unit I’m seeing 1-2 a week for unit we’re remodeling.Good luck in the search and congrats for doing it yourself.  

My property tax rate is 2.70% I have a great tenant so I haven't done large increases (like $150 or $200) since I don't want a unit turn but I'm in the market rate range.

You might spend between $5,000 and $20,000 on furnishing the unit, depending on your choices.

Boom 4 units laters, I feel like the wheels are finally turning for me!! 

And only 0.36% new units.

I would put pressure on the GF to try and help get him out because they will both be held accountable for the unit.

Plus, letting a unit sit vacant for 6 months without approving needed maintenance is totally Irresponsible on your behalf.I’m glad we gave you a 30 day notice and would do so in a heart beat again to any other landlord with a similar mindset to yours.Much success 

I do see a ton of 2 unit houses on Zillow, so would it be a good bet that these are landlords trying to unload their stock before student housing regs kick in?
