If a syndicator finds a lead through social media and then does not perform as expected, then I am more apt to use said social media to air my grievances...  

You could have 2 properties that are identical on paper but have ARV's that are 6 figures apart for reasons that aren't apparent in the data.  

You will probably figure out where you want to live here and then you can back into which areas make sense to house hack from there. 

The Phoenix real estate market remains strong and is expected to continue growing in the coming years.This is what my research showed me about the market, but two things should be duly noted here.

Quote from @Nithin Kumar: New to Phoenix and hearing a lot of places for rental investments but trying to figure out from the pro's around to find what are the areas that can break-even on a monthly basis and the areas that can show appreciation in the nearer term. planning to put down payment of 30% (~100k) Hi Nithin, I live in North Phoenix myself and would recommend anything around the Paradise Valley Mall area.

@Emily Fackler I figured those areas would be great at the moment.

I’m still learning myself, but I’ve found that connecting with other investors and figuring out which areas of the market to focus on (like distressed properties or foreclosures) can make all the difference.Are you currently looking to jump back into investing, or are you exploring different strategies at this point?

I have similar questions to Joe; are you expecting too much from a requirement stand point (aside from the alcohol)?

Is this expected since interest rates are high and listing prices are subsequently dropping? 

They then missed out on several more years of growth because they got out of the game and waited on the sidelines for things to look better. 2010 to 2012 was the period that cash investors were the players or those with IRA keep in mind investor loans were still basically non existent in those years for all those expect very well to do Investors beginners were not getting investor loans.
