Try your local REIA and talk to the investors there, even if 1-2 hours away, REIAs tend to have alot of people with good local connections to money.

You know if you find it for them though that they are professional commercial buyers, have their own attorneys and due diligence department, and you can sit back and wait until it closes.All of the other individual buyers will tend to need a higher level of help and service on commercial transactions finding the property, doing due diligence, and getting to a successful closing.

But I have to say it concerns me when I get emails like this:CIA analyst, James Rickards, has made a shocking prediction: A cabal of 189 global elites is preparing to launch a direct financial attack on America…if successful, their plan will vaporize $101 trillion in investor assets… within 48 hours.

But remember you'll need to save funds for not only reserves  but closing costs which can tend to be a little higher in the form of origination charges when it comes to HML. 

Those do tend to be smaller/less updated units, but still surprised where all these come from ALL OF a SUDDEN....I guess the AirBNB units maybe, as someone mentioned above?

Of course, trying to rent a property that is not in good condition tends to attract residents that are not good residents, so depending on the timing of when the repairs were completed, that may have created another issue.If a resident hasn't paid, they should be evicted.

just a suggestion.but this could be a situation were you keep your 4k liquid so you have reserves etc.go ahead and get one of those on line loans  like prosper etc that tend to have lower rates than CC .get enough so you can for sure make it habitable but do keep in mind refinancing with that low of loan is very hard to near impossible.so make sure you keep powder dry to pay for the payments and upkeep of the property. 

On a couple of them we tend to get 30 - 60 day bookings.

I've noticed those principals/owners who build rapport and relationships with tenants tend do have poor investments (i.e., they don't raise rents, etc.).

@Lindsey Armatis-Rivera The outer areas (rings) of Phoenix such as San Tan Valley tend to offer more affordability.
