Quote from @Jeremy Holden: STR's are alive and well down in Metro Phoenix, Arizona . 

Feel free to share any thoughts you have here as well. 

There are people on here (BP) that say "you don't need to pay for education".Well, not only are they wrong!

There are many here on BP as well as many on Linkedin that you could reach out to and they all have forms to fill out for deal specific information.I think trying to walk into offices will not be best use of time.

I've learned a lot on the managing side of the business, as well as the rehab side DIYing a lot of the work myself.

I certainly don't want to get into the business of being a "bottom feeder" that takes advantage of people, but if there is space in the industry for someone to help people in your situation while making a fair profit, I wouldn't mind learning more and getting involved.If interested, message me.

The only thing about it is that the property hasn’t been very well taken care of, so we know there’s a lot of work to do to fix it.

@Stuart Udis your absolutely right, as far as the market my biggest issue is that I don’t know that area very well and neither does the agent that is helping me.

Unless the price is well adjusted I would avoid structural issues all together.

Part of the equation is how much equity can be drawn from your property as well, this would also be a question for your lender.4.
