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

Excellent !  

I am looking to buy a mid to large size apartment building right now (10-100 units).

From what I have seen while looking at sample tapes, FCI exchange/other websites, and other comments; is that performing notes cannot be bought with that much of a discount (but I haven't seen what local banks/credit unions provide in their pools/tapes).

What is the cheapest website to buy yard signs and stakes on? 

My wife has been in prop management for most of her adult life and is a regional manager for a large company so I plan on using her skills on the management side (why didn't we do this much sooner!!).

Hi @John S.Not sure if I have seen 1 yet on BP, but I got this website from Wendell De Guzmanhttp://homewyse.com/hopefully it will give you some general ideas. 

I also have some hard money lenders available to me through personal relationships and a fairly large credit card line to finance some repairs.My step between now and #1 was buying a duplex.

Also check and see if they have a website for the subdivision?
