For better tenants I would say Tempe, Chandler, and west Mesa.Nick, I have a question about Peoria for you.

The areas that I like are Tempe/Chandler and Peoria.

It is not the manipulation of our citizens into believing in an us vs. them mentality.

Marie Poe As far as the income being over reported, I suspected that the code was being manipulated, but was really looking for something that explained the specific manipulation, similar to the chart Steven H provided.

I thought with a property valued at 600K I would get really upstanding tenants and as such went far out of my way to make her comfortable and when threatened with police action I backed off letting her manipulate the situation.

You'd also get a nice home in Tempe, Chandler, or Gilbert.

Too much constant manipulating and games from tenants to deal with.   

The fact is I have given him many opportunities to leave and release him from the lease for health reason (since Jan 2016) But he has not, All in all I think he is trying to manipulate us into selling our home to him for next to nothing (I have an email from his realtor - as late as Jan 28 1017 -  listing ridiculous issues with the home and how an agreement cannot be reached unless we significantly reduce the price) We have no purchase agreement and no 4 year lease agreement and we have been telling him that we intend on selling once his lease is up since the beginning of his current lease.

If so, check to make sure it isn't scheduled to warm the place up to occupation temps when nobody is living there.  

I talk to the agent, ask about themselves, how they came upon the client, ask about their client & so on but I do not talk about the offer, primarily because I have not formally written it out precisely because I am looking for clues.I have done this for years & the vast majority of the time (85-90%) of the time, my clients get a great deal AND the other side doesn’t feel manipulated or cheated by a hustler.I learned much of these techniques from taking a deep dive & studying Neurolinguistics along with psychology therapy techniques to a point where I would have a Masters if I had gone to college - I think I hold the record for dropping out of college - 7 times & completing 2 semesters.
