We used to just stay close to the ball parks but now we venture out and that says a lot about the temp. of the city.

The AC guy under warranty came to check out the AC and said all is good, went to the attic and saw insulation was low so I had another company come in this week to blow insulation R30.A couple of days pass and the tenant talks to the PM and tells them that it's still pretty hot and that the temp was 79 until 10 PM! 

The East Valley (Chandler/Tempe/Gilbert/Mesa) tends to be a little more popular and more expensive.

But I'm pretty specific about where I'll look because I don't want to branch into other cities until I have good systems in place, so Mesa and Gilbert, and into Tempe and Chandler, aren't yielding what I had hoped. 

Temp service are nice.

I live in Tempe and would definitely meet with you to talk about goals and best practices.

Another school of thought is to goto the local temp service and hire yourself some laborers and painters to do the bulk of the work -- and hire specific contractors for things that require permits.  

Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Gary (IN), St Louis, Huntsville, Phoenix/Tempe/Mesa, Kansas City, Memphis, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Harrisburg (PA), Greenville, Jacksonville, Tampa, Houston, San Antonio, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Dayton, Cleveland, Ohio, or other secondary or tertiary markets.

Average temp on the Maine coast in January - 31 degreesAverage temp in Miami in January - 76 degreesABSOLUTE WORST CASE WARMING PROJECTION - 7 degrees per 100 years.Maine will be just like Florida in 650 years.This kind of game is fun, but as a guide to real estate investment strategy it is just silly.

I am currently in Tempe, Az for the next two months or so due a construction project I am a part of that will be wrapping up.
