Personally, I would never live in PHX, but that is all personal biases (I prefer seasons and greenery), and clearly lots of people choose to live in PHX.At the end of the day, I would argue market selection almost only comes into play when you are talking assets that cater to institutional buyers that have to get investment committee sign off. 

Having worked with 1,000's of investors to Broker the properties I sell in my local market, and having worked with dozens of Property Managers, Turnkey Providers, Agents, Property Management Software Companies, Lenders, Inspectors and various other investment real estate vendors to market their products and services on my show, the one thing that stood out to be was the CEO Zach's obsession with the biz.In real estate we've get a lot turnover, a lot of flameout.

Plus, you already know the market, which gives you an edge.

Also, if you're having trouble finding inventory in your market, look for single family homes with accessory units or even mother daughter setups.

In fact, just finished one that I have yet to put on the market. 

Could anyone share advice or insights on the market here?

You can add them but If you just go with what is active on furnished finder you will be right in the market range for the monthly rent and should cover the utilities + some.

Mine have appreciated off of the charts in the Charlotte metro market.
