A buddy of mine was able to scoop up a couple of duplexes downtown for under $200K each, and they’re already cash flowing nicely.For Phoenix specifically, I’ve seen a lot of action in Downtown Phoenix and Paradise Valley Village, where investors have found strong tenant demand.

David Greene talks about this quite often on the podcast.If you want a mentor, you should develop relationships with locals and prove yourself to them.

However, most new investors make a much lower return and could be upside-down for a long time.Cashing out equity to invest presented much less risk when mortgage rates were 3% and properties were producing better returns.For a green investor, borrowing money so you can borrow money is high-risk.

Quote from @Cameron Green: Hi Josh,You can definitely dispute the classification of your property to reflect it as a 3-bedroom instead of a "Den."

Along with the condo fees come the amenities (gym, pickleball, boat docks, tennis, putting green, heated pool, etc.).  

Also, on the flip side, I'm staying a few extra nights after the conference if anyone else was looking to extend their time in paradise and hang out with some cool cats and kittens 🐱😅Details:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/904/topics/1212073-bpco...Looking forward to meeting and getting to know everyone!!

@Jonathan Greene yes for newcomers but did you see my other posts?

That company supports foreclose bidders they produce a document daily on all the sales with same info I mentioned above and color coded certain props with extra caution Red or Green for ready to go bid with confidence. although this created uber competition.
