that is amazing, nice work.

It's in a nice 55+ park in Tucson Az.

Also if you don't have testimonials that okay to, come up with ways to have good people have something nice to say about just doing business with you in the past or just working together on a side project.

Have a nice day.

They also have a nice backing of partner contractors that they have screened and vetted for quality. 

Anything over $300k will be a really nice house but there is less cash flow and it will likely make a less desirable rental for several reasons. 

I think it would be nice to not have a mortgage payment at the age of 34 but my worry is it might be smarter to have 2 homes vs 1 in 30 years.

Perhaps a nice 1950's built bungalow.Always hire a 3rd party property inspector to give you an unbiased feel for the home.

I would probably do it in a really nice walkable neighborhood and likely pay a bit of a premium since I'd be living there.

One last thought would be to use a virtual assistant to call and vet contractors...I use UpWork, but there are sever VA firms that could do it...pay $50 and come home to a nice tidy spreadsheet with contractors information awaiting your approval.
