Have you connected with local investor meetups or REI groups?

Connect with The Hard Money Co, Mach1 Lending, MGM Capital or Plan B Homebuyers. 

So it probably makes sense to send targeted letters to people who you're most interested in connecting with.Solid advice, thank you.

I don't often see people talk about it very much on here at all.

This is a fantastic platform to connect with fellow investors and grow your portfolio. 

Would love to connect with other investors in the area that are also doing long-term rentals, renovations, and/or short-term rentals.

I also have connections where I source wholesale deals and pocket listings. 

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. 

I mean, if you are looking just for the connections or looking to expand your network, I guess it is worth the price just for that.
