And it all makes sense now, your obsessive compulsion with ignoring facts and data, going to such effort's to twist and manipulate things, selective data etc..

I live in Tempe and would definitely meet with you to talk about goals and best practices.

I'm from Tempe Arizona and came here to try and soak up as much information as I can before I jump into the fray and try to find somewhere to settle my family down in.Though I'm not an investor, and likely have no hope of ever becoming one, I'm so far enjoying learning about creative financing and other things I haven't yet heard about!

I'm understanding that the current institutional market is pretty slim.....that's because it's pretty well controlled and manipulated by the time it gets to the street.

They do struggle to keep up when the temps really drop.  

But I'm pretty specific about where I'll look because I don't want to branch into other cities until I have good systems in place, so Mesa and Gilbert, and into Tempe and Chandler, aren't yielding what I had hoped. 

Likewise, they might not tell you the truth about a good tenant, in the hopes of keeping them from being able to move.Don't let a tenant threaten you, cajole you, manipulate you. 

The East Valley (Chandler/Tempe/Gilbert/Mesa) tends to be a little more popular and more expensive.
