We're possibly (sorry for using the p-word) talking about 200 hours.

Phoenix contains a rare combination of elements that have created an outstanding market for distressed property investments, including the following:Cost Savings: Distressed properties are sold below their market value and enable investors to take hold of properties at a trifle compared to traditionally listed properties.Strong Market Fundamentals: Being among the fastest-growing cities in the country, Phoenix ensures a high demand in housing and rentals, hence good potential for resale or income from rentals.Value Creation Opportunities: Most distressed properties need renovations; thus, such situations present opportunities for investors to increase equity by adding value.Population and Economic Growth: Phoenix remains among those cities in the country which are attracting more and more residents and business; therefore, this presents good, long-term appreciation possibilities of property appreciation and income creation.Challenges to ConsiderWhile the rewards can be great, distressed property investment is not without its challenges.

I cannot imagine that having 1 thermostat for 2 units would be possible especially once we move out and have tenants in both units. 3rd unit dilemma The 3rd unit is not finished.

Make sure the zoning, local building department/regulations, and neighborhood allow you to put a tiny house on your property and rent it out.If that is not possible, using that money for the next property makes sense.In general, I think increasing housing density will help provide more badly needed housing affordably.To Your Success!

I would prefer to sell the property vacant or the easiest less stressful way as possible, however I was advised that could deter investors buyers interest as the rental income is a one of my strong selling points.I am open and would appreciate any thoughts and/or suggestions from fellow agents or investors alike.Thanks in advance;)

I feel this will be possible somewhere between my mid to late 40’s.

I just spoke with one DST broker (Realized 1031) and they said that most sponsors that they work with kind of add the loads to their total costs, so all of your investment is put to work, although at a possibly higher building cost.

Possibly using mortgage/home equity loan on one unit we own to buy an extra one.3.

Id also recommend if this is your first investment property your buying to have it as close to home as possible.

Exactly.  20% down financing for investment property will not be easy but if you have a W-2, maybe it's possible.
