Do you want to be a landlord? 

You need to do the research too if your area would be bringing in more money as an STR, some areas would do better as a long term rental as well. 

@Krystal Stone I would be sure to check and see how many clients (youth) they are planning to house at one time.

Op ex ratio may end up being more like 45% or perhaps 40% with newer high quality construction.

@Tristan Kelly hope this goes well for you!

I see you started your own firm as well.

I currently broker LIHTC multi-family for a large firm coast to coast and am also interested in MF in the Arizona submarkets as well, and will eventually invest on that scale - I just figure breaking into the state through SFH flips may be a more risk adverse way to understand the pros and cons to phoenix submarkets.

I would be happy to share my contacts! 

I do have an agent I know personally but she's only in the area at certain times of the year.Section 8 would be better than nothing.

I am a veteran as well.
