Currently looking for a great deal on a multi-family property in the Phoenix/Mesa/Tempe valley. 

The tenant was negligent by leaving the water on in freezing temps with no heat in the house.

Unless you manipulate the numbers by doing a 10% down 2nd home loan, buy a cheaper house, do renovations/furnishing on a 0% credit card and not count that money into your cash on cash calculation, the real returns of 20% or more on a property that can do $80-100k+ of booking revenue can only reliably be found through value add projects.

You can download all of your search results in Excel format, then manipulate the data in order to fit your deal analysis process.One big piece of info that is not included on this spreadsheet is the estimated rents. 

They use attractive people, people that look the part to manipulate your emotions.  

True that the caverns would be the same temp...

Not sure, as of this morning, he supplied the references of other investors he has lent to, but still, that can be manipulated.

I'd take some time to find a temp place to live and then get to know the neighborhoods.

Many years ago during the days of Oil heat a friend of mine installed one for the tenant to play with & one discreetly installed that actually worked left @ whatever the minimum required temp was.

I was looking to be a intern/temp this summer in the real estate industry in the Corpus Christi or San Antonio area and was hoping to work in a mortgage brokerage firm or a title company.
