Tempe and Scottsdale can be competitive, but Mesa and certain areas of Phoenix might offer better cash flow opportunities.

Hello, BiggerPockets community!
My name is Jay I'm excited to join this platform as a new investor based in Charlotte, North Carolina. With one successful flip under my belt, I'm eager to connect with fellow investor...

I've also reviewed work done by both CPAs and tax preparers in large and small firms.I'm constantly learning new income tax strategies, reviewing my understanding of tax legislation and opportunities that are created with new legislation. 

Same principles apply - being busy will create opportunity. 

Moreover, as others have noted, explore investment opportunities in your market before considering purchasing out of state.

Purchase price: $490,000 This is a unique opportunity to participate as a investor in a single family residence valued at $3M and higher.

It’s a smart move, especially since it ties in with your goal of saving for your first investment.For skills, you probably already have a good foundation with your sales experience—things like communication, organization, and dealing with clients are all super valuable.

I think the 10-14% rate is where it will be for the next five or so years personally so plenty of opportunity

Drew, sounds like a solid opportunity with a lot of potential, but definitely some big hurdles to clear upfront.

And I have had two potential opportunities "fall into my lap" that involve inherited properties that need major remodels to be able to compete in the MTR market.
