I still have plenty time left saving but when the time comes I’ll either be looking into conventional  loans, or some type of remodel loan to pay for the repairs of the property I am looking to fix up, because as far as I’ve seen so far it’s hard to find a good deal starting out unless you buy it as discounted as possible and put some sweat equity into it, let me know your thoughts on that ur possible.

Depending on how long it takes you to save up the amount, you might want to also allow for inflation on that amount for your continued savings.[2]   Read Rich Dad poor dad.[3]   Think about getting a second job - possibly a temporary job - save a 100% of the money.Just my 2 cents.

We are in Mesa Arizona and looking for any advice possible.

PM companies are typically anxious to help, especially when the possibility of ongoing management is on the table.

I am looking at 1031 possibly or just fixed refi/or use my heloc for the time being on a value add for a building 10-40 units (market dependent on price). 

Property taxes-  ask for revaluation as soon as possible.11.  

Just get it under contract as quickly as possible... an multi- page realtor supplied purchase contract often does not afford you the luxury of time.  

That's only possible during the "edit" phase right after the original post.  

These things happen, just make sure you document as well as possible.

Here, to find properties under market value is seems not possible and, cashflow is very minimal and, I see equity is the quickest way to get out and, invest in another property.
