Hi Anthony,I do believe that it is achievable here in Arizona, but these deals will be off-market and will need some work.

though everyone at the closing could not believe that I was only 19 years old and buying their first duplex it made me feel really special and and good knowing I was performing better than anyone near my age group.

Believe me, I’ve seen my share of ups and downs: from navigating interest rate spikes to figuring out out-of-state managment back when online tools weren’t half as good as they are now.

I am particularly interested in understanding various investment strategies, networking with experienced investors, and finding my first rental property.I believe that learning from others' experiences is invaluable, and I am here to absorb as much knowledge as I can.

I believe the appreciation has been great over the past couple of years and prices are lower than in major areas like Miami metroplex or Charlotte.

I know this is an unpopular opinion around here that you won’t see on the front page of the daily BiggerPockets newsletter, but it’s the truth For the record, I still believe a quality STR purchase offers a great ROI over the long term.  

Quote from @Giacomo Matthew Degl'Innocenti: I very understand your speech but it's hard to believe the tenant has nowadays became invested of a far bigger responsibility than the landlord in making it possible to be having depicted an accurate profile also because is the landlord indeed who's on the business and receiving the money.Thanks your intervening here though  There is zero logic in any of this. 

Not answering a legitimate question, when making a claim, can be self serving and can lead people to believe the claim is false. 

But the answer for everyone may differ.Here are the personal attributes I see in those able to achieve a higher than market ROI, enough higher to be able to “scale”.1- Knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance2- Minimum 3 -5 years full time, or near full time experience directly related to real estate investing3- Ability to utilize technology for increased efficiency, capacity, and accuracy4- Excellent hired legal counsel and excellent hired marketing help5- Established method(s) of obtaining consistently high QUALITY deal flow6- Ability to manage and choose people who are NOT employees: Attorneys, Appraisers, Mortgage Brokers, Real Estate Brokers, Title Companies, Surveyors, Marketing Specialists, Accountants, Contractors, Consultants, Property Managers7- A VERIFIABLE track record of success8- Ability to identify, analyze, and negotiate a deal that can be “worked” for “enhanced” ROI9- Some type of competitive advantage; for example for me it’s my ability to analyze and identify mortgage loans that are actually less risky than all other lenders believe (on the investing in debt side), and on the real property side it’s my ability to analyze”pull the trigger” with LESS information than other investors need,  combined with the ability to pay cash, or raise significant capital almost instantly as well as being able to obtain loans at the lowest prime customer bank rate with no recourse or personal liability.
