Floor plans?

Good luck with your real estate plan! 

Still, I think you'd find it difficult to find one that would be a good long-term investment unless you had another ~20-30 years to go, it's at least cash neutral, and you don't plan to hold it too long (to avoid too much investment loss and before you get to the point where it's unsellable because of too few years left); that's another way of saying that maybe it suits your cash needs in the near-term or is at least less of a pill to swallow than other options until you find something that's more of a sensible long-term play

I plan to use it as a rental property, but I'm concerned about the location—Bullhead City, Arizona.

I did a cash out refi on my principal residence at a much lower rate and paid it off.Now I plan on using the equity for more purchases.What? 

A cash-flowing, large lot, alley loaded duplex that needed a new roof, painted and new floors.

My plan is to maintain the status quo and benefit from annual rent increases and equity gain as the tenants' rent covers the mortgage.

How do you plan on finding your deals?

I am now working as an engineer in the Twin Cities, but have plans of moving to Austin, TX with my wife to house-hack and work in the more plentiful tech market over there. 

Real estate just like stocks and other strategies requires intelligence and a plan.
