I work with out-of-state investors and would be happy to share my experience and how I can help you in your next investment purchase.

I would like to find a mentor/agent who has experience with Foreclosures (HUD) who would be willing to answer questions and work together in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.I'm on a new journey in life and finally taking steps in the Investor direction... something I should have done a long time ago.

I personally also bought a couple two flats to get started and I always looked at it from an overall expense view. 

While most of his experience is with new construction rather than remodels, he’s already given me a few pointers and is looking into potential referrals for me.

Thanks in advance—your experiences will help narrow down the best fit!

Sounds like you’ve got some solid experience under your belt.

The problem with metrics is that there is no one metric that fits all investors and situations.Looking at some of the enervation shows on TV, the price they pay and what they put into the property would never work in the markets we have experience in.  

@Grant ShipmanIn my experience with these units are very difficult to manage and people at the 30% level also create a new set of problems.

I have experience with Quickbooks Online, and looking to learn to use Appfolio as I have heard that is a common software tool used for managing the books for REI.

I would like to keep learning more and hear from others about their experience around the Kansas city area.
