Dawn--I've read and heard a lot as I've been doing my own research that there are few rental vacancies and rentals are needed in Medford, sounds like especially lower rents.While rentals seem to be needed, I've read a few articles in the last several months that have highlighted the large number of abandoned or unoccupied out-of-state owned homes in the area, and family members and friends have colloquially reported the same.

I stumbled across a website that seemed to have an pretty cool program, it was a Saturday Morning Investment Tour (http://www.gimmeshelter.com/saturdaymorninginvestmenttour.html) .

@Arden Gist Yes, it would be more feasible for me to pay off a single family rental and then use it as collateral for a small commercial property than having to come up with large amount of cash for down payment if I wanted to go at it alone without taking on partners.

Since then, I've purchased a condo in South Boston, a 3 family in Dorchester, MA, and my most exciting purchase to date, a single family home on a large lot that I plan to develop into two town homes.

I have an excellent guy in Garwood, NJ. 

I haven't been on this website in a very long time and looking to get back into the flow of learning new things and developing myself.

I've had a good experience with Stewart in Spokane, but their website seems to be down.

I was just wondering if anybody has any preferred contractors who do excellent work in the Phoenix/Mesa area.
