But, I am curious if there are any meetups in the phoenix, scottsdale or cave creek area still going on?

This will start as a portfolio loan, probably at lower LTV point given net-free cash flow, they like to see contingency and good math (I will equip with shnazzy spread-sheet with #'s and data galore, enough to delight the most stringent underwriter).

I'm not surprised, seeing a house pop up on the MLS nowadays is like seeing a snow leopard come out of its cave! 

The exchange for shelter has been around since the beginning of mankind...it's documented in cave drawings. 

With Mass real estate prices, you should (not will, bit should) be within $70,000 - except for the 20% of cases where the error is larger.It is a truly useless number because as @Brad Hammond said, they don't know if the house has just undergone a down-to-the-studs luxury renovation, or if it desperately needs one because the ceilings are about to cave in because the pipes froze and destroyed the interior.PS - unlicensed wholesaling is illegal in Mass. 

In the case of SoCal, we just delightfully received a 14.6% increase overnight in Edison utility rates.

Hi Samuel, I have purchased out of state turnkey properties in Cleveland and Memphis and I have shared my experience in the 2 posts below. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/850/topics/890954-out-of-state-turnkey-investment-with-martel-turnkeyhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/850/topics/902026-1st-sfh-purchase-with-roofstock-investors-delight

New electrical/pluming being installed and we visited to and found out the foundation was completely shot and that the house was starting to cave in. so we paid an extra 15K to fix it and 5K for framing. then fast forward 6 month.

Dealing with all that was bad enough, and then as a final straw the bathroom ceiling caved in at one property, with a guest in residence!

Majority of landlords have caved in so be sure to seek out and answer.
