They only do Memphis and Little Rock and may provide you with the end result without the hassle if you like that market.

I have searchd the forums but couldn't find much about Boostly. 

Listen to podcasts, read books, and if you plan to invest in the Netherlands find some resources that speak to that market specifically.

With that said, I've done some research on the market and found the following information helpful in my considerations for Phoenix that you might find helpful as well:  Demand for both buying and renting property remains high due to the city's strong economy and growing population.

For example,  providing a heating source for your tenant is your responsibility as the landlord.
