In Maricopa County, encompassing Glendale, Mesa, Tempe, and Chandler, you'll find diverse options balancing affordability and rental potential.

Unfortunately, I have quickly realized the mortgage is much too steep a payment to promote a net positive cashflow even with all rooms rented.

Thankfully I have friends and family that have done well, so I think I can pull out a sizeable fund $500K+) without going the syndication route, but I appreciate the comment.Syndicators usually get what in slang is called “promote”.  

Super higher leverage that the purchase can't be approved by agency loan.In all practicallity , the era of 2016-2020 by aggregate should only produce 7-8% IRR if one correctly and conservatively.They targeted the naives investor in biggerpocket that lacks basic real estate valuation.The real problem is really the era of 2015-2020 where folks are treating CRE just like OTCBB pink stock and promoting it as a safe haven.

You have considerably less wall space, and trying to fill furniture into that one big space is often awkward resulting in a lot of wasted space that does not really do anything.And while these open floorplans are often promoted as "family friendly" I have come to the conclusion that they are a double edged sword in that respect.

I haven’t narrowed down beyond that yet though as I know each has diverse areas.

Please no promotions. 

In these cities, your financial resources will go a long way enabling you to assemble a diverse multifamily portfolio and initiate a steady stream of income.

I would suggest connecting with a diverse lender for investment property mortgages.
