MORE people are retiring to AZ because the weather isn't as harsh as it is in TX.In the north we have "snowbirds" who travel down to the south for the winter and come back for the rest of the year. 

Once you start buying more properties and become more successful the more valuable you will become to the agents and the more they will want to work with you.I know it sounds harsh but I as an agent am going to work with the client who I like and who is going to allow me to make the most money in the least amount of time.Also consider getting your real estate license again so you can at lest start doing the research easier and have full access to the MLS. 

So I find that when I evaluate properties according to the BiggerPockets method, including CapEx monthly, including 5% of gross rents for repairs and maintanence, including 10% for property managers, etc, NO property ...

We have a dog and cat that have brought fleas into the house and instead of using harsh chemicals, we spray this on the animals and floor, furniture and carpet.

Just from the news you know how harsh life is in some areas here, but the cashflow is great.  

Maybe it's harsh of me to say this, instead of "godspeed" - but it is the reality of this business.Once you get going and make some money - then is the time to address entities and taxes.

@David Harsh ... some of your questions are a little confusing.You have been approved for a $1M loan.

I feel bad about being a bit harsh to you, because you are more brave than many people in the world already, and it is clear you are a nice person.

Also, i usually will add it to the OPTION agreement (not the rental agreement)  that the tenant will pay anything up to $X  maybe more like $2500 in this price range or all of it - however you can't MAKE them do the repairs as they are still a tenant - but you can put in there that if they don't do the repairs and you need to do them that you will add the expense to the purchase price plus a certain % return (make sure it is a legal rate) - or some of my friend will do the repair but the stipulation is it voids the option agreement - I personally think that is too harsh and unfair so I lease option by adding it to their purchase later should a repair be needed and they can't afford it.
