Hey Jade, With all of the semiconductor manufacturers popping up out here and new developments and redevelopments the Phoenix area will be growing for sure in the near and distant future.

Quote from @Kristian Forbes: I'm not too sure yet.

Maybe this is just happening because of the colder weather but I'm not sure and I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars getting a plumber to come out if a good investor-friendly handyman can take a look.

Would you forecast that there will be some big discounts on these in a few years as people realize that they cant afford to hold onto themthank you!

You’ll need to handle inspections, work with housing authorities, and make sure your tenant screening process is solid.

I can't really afford to pay two mortgages.

I am sure there is a cost to change the title after the loan closes + paper work.

Or can you still run everything through your personal return (just want to make sure that I can deduct things such as HOA fees which I can do if it is a rental).2) If I do decide to run everything thru my personal tax return (save on LLC fees), should I at the least set up a separate bank account to track costs separately?

They have come to me about buying the home but I have a collection account about to fall off my credit in a few months so I am not sure I would qualify (in addition to my income may not be high enough).Are there any workarounds to maybe purchasing the home?

I have couple of lists but not sure which one to start with.
