I'm Currently evaluating the nearby markets for potential BRRRR opportunities.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

attractive location with potential growth How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

@Sahegin Charoliathe one's i've listed are going up for foreclosure.i just use it as a list for potential houses to pick up at the tax auction. 

I like it a lot of my vendors move the inventory in 30 to 90 days so we are only paying sometimes as low at 90 to 150 for insurance per home.Now if your going to keep it a full year or more this is not always the most cost effective.. but it works for a quick and dirty solution.I used Foremost over the years for my MHParks that I owned.. they insruaed the crappy trailers in said parks LOL

Or is Indio a good safe bet with potential appreciation - especially the Terra Lago area?

Since I'm trying to cut costs, I do plan on having the next two tenants pay for water as well. 

We should have put a renter in the property to cover the carrying costs of the mortgage but the investor wanted the property sold and a tenant can make that challenging so we continued reducing the price until there wasn['t any profit in the deal.

Does the proforma include "potential" non-existent units?   

I'm drawn to the market due to its affordability and potential for growth, and I have family nearby that can be resourceful.- Goals: My aim is to successfully purchase, rehab, rent, refinance, and repeat with my initial properties, eventually scaling up to build a portfolio.Questions1.
