You can look into low-income neighborhoods usually the properties are of lower value, but I'm not quite sure if that applies everywhere but I know in Florida I see it here and there, and if you need help looking I don't mind helping.

It’s such a great resource for learning and connecting with like-minded investors.

Make sure any lease agreement you use complies with Arizona's landlord-tenant laws, including required disclosures (like bed bug information, for example).If you're unsure, consulting with a local real estate attorney to review the agreement can provide peace of mind and ensure you're fully protected.

There are opportunities out there but some strategies are risky. 1 - Airbnb (STR) comes to mind - very competitive, very saturated and becoming highly regulated.2 - Most STRs are transitioning to MTR so that market will be saturated soon if it isn't already.3 - Insurance crisis in florida is getting bad so those costs will eat up cashflow and short term appreciation.

So, instead of paying taxes on $50K, I'm paying taxes on only $21K. 

Feel free to reach out if you're still looking and don't mind remote.  

I have been to RE meetups in the past with like-minded everyday investors pursuing similar goals, sharing stories and learning from each other, running through numbers, sharing network contacts, and even doing deals together.

I utilize a PO Box as well.It wouldn't be hard for our tenants to find out where we live (tax assessor's online tool) ~ But for $50/yearly ... it gives me a bit more piece of mind :)

If they don't pay rent in full, evict them.

This was my first deal, and house hacking made the most sense because it lowered the threshold for risk in my mind.
