That's why we require clients to spend a couple days with us in Milwaukee up front, so we can get on the same page and determine an asset quality.Hint: the hood looks much better on a spreadsheet than up close in person.

Are you focusing on adding them in the general PHX area? 

At the end of the day its about price and terms. 

They need the help more than VRBO. 

Happy to be part of the community

@Sean Dillon figure out how to buy a 2-4 unit with FHA loan.Then rent at least one of the units long-term for stable cashflow.Try STR in another unit as well as the other bedrooms in the unit you live in.You may even consider living in the basement, attic or worse unit in the building to rent everything else out and max cashflow. 

Location is the most important issue.  

Quote from @Jenna Kelley: The foundation is one issue, I agree with the other two comments..

@Matthew Irish-Jones Thank you for the advice !  

Current timeline to purchase is probably 6-12 months as I start narrowing down and visiting some of the places to get a better idea over the next few months.
