On my lot where I live, I can have as many kitchens as I want (not sure why I would have extras) and can build a tower, but they won’t let me build an ADU for my mom unless it is connected to the main house.  

**Mesa's Eastmark area** - Strong school districts driving family demand Property Types in DemandThe most profitable flips currently involve:- 3-4 bedroom single-family homes built between 1970-1990- Properties with pool potential (but without existing pools)- Homes with generous lot sizes that allow for expanding square footage Renovation Trends That SellPhoenix buyers in 2025 are particularly drawn to:- **Energy efficiency upgrades** - With Arizona's extreme temperatures, smart thermostats, improved insulation, and energy-efficient windows offer significant appeal- **Outdoor living spaces** - Covered patios, pergolas, and native landscaping that requires minimal water- **Modern desert aesthetic** - Clean lines, earth tones, and natural materials that connect to the Sonoran landscape- **Flexible spaces** - Home offices or multi-purpose rooms that accommodate remote work Challenges to Navigate Water ConcernsThe ongoing drought situation means water-conscious renovations are no longer just trendy—they're essential.

However, they are hard on the physical property. expectations before they move in matter most, if you share the clear rules about what is expected, and what isn't, and remind them that you are connected (even from a distance), I expect it could turn out well. make sure you aren't putting in high dollar nice things.

If you're strictly seeking off-market deals, I recommend connecting with and working with a reliable/resourceful wholesaler instead of a real estate agent.

I am reading a bunch of real estate investing books , talking to realtors & loan officers, and trying to educate myself best I can.I'm also looking to expand my network within the real estate investing community, and I believe this is a great opportunity to connect.

We have several who drive up from the Joplin Area.Definitely worth your time.Next meeting is February 11th, 2025 MAREI is a great group to connect with in the KC area! 

When I contacted James Wachob, he downplayed her connection to FPM and implied he might have helped if I’d stayed with them.

Hi Varun, if you're serious about getting started in this space let's connect! 

I already have a Stessa account which can be connected with a bank account and has the benefits of collecting rent and keeping track of documents, receipts and transactions.

Looking to make connections with property owners in NY and Philly for meet ups as well!
