Quote from @Nithin Kumar: New to Phoenix and hearing a lot of places for rental investments but trying to figure out from the pro's around to find what are the areas that can break-even on a monthly basis and the areas that can show appreciation in the nearer term. planning to put down payment of 30% (~100k) Hi Nithin, I live in North Phoenix myself and would recommend anything around the Paradise Valley Mall area.

My plan is to add 2 - 6 shipping container type of small houses and an above ground pool at some point to make at least a section of the property short/mid term rentals.

I would buy a deal that at least minimally cashflows (they exist) and then plan to refi in the 18-36 month window.

Some investors also use a business line of credit backed by their cash flow, which can help with future deals.If you’re planning to scale, maybe start stacking that cash for the next property or even park some in T-bills for short-term returns.

This is my first BrrrrWhat is your stabilization plan?

Read books, network, research markets, and plan your strategy.

The letter also states the total non-rent items currently owed by the tenant, such as accumulated late fees or repair charges.Also very important, the tenant states they have no unresolved issues with their current landlord, except as listed in a space provided, and they have no current plans to cancel their lease under the Service Members Civil Relief Act or for any other reason. 

A 10 to 15 year plan - slow and steady. 

Of course the high crime statistics cannot be ignored in these cites, however I'm planning to buy only in the nicer/low crime neighborhoods which hopefully eliminates most of the crime risk.I was wondering if any of you could provide feedback on comparing these 3 cities.
