I've been surprised by how much some of my properties have sold for - especially since bidding wars are real in today's market.

You will be surprised how much a nice color scheme can increase the value of a SFR and the cost is not that high.Remember we are still in a sellers market...

If it is owner pays utilities you might want to adjust those numbers.I do not know what the property list price is (if it is even an on market deal) but a purchase price of $725k then $80k in repair, yet you stay at an ARV of $725k?

I'm writing this post for a few investor clients of mine, and wanted to see what the average cash-flow per door other investors in the Phoenix metro area (Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert, Glendale, Chandler, Mesa, Peoria, Surprise, etc.) were getting on their rental properties. 

If a young engineer stayed there and he got married and his wife moved in would you increase the rent?

Stay focused and strong.

To be honest, I would be interested in a podcast that targeted Military aviators regarding their decision to stay or go.

It is a great rental town and there's confidence it will stay occupied.   

We would live there for 2 years or so, save money, rent out the condo, and then purchase a 3-4 bedroom where we would stay put.

Any other low-risk options or should I stay on the track I'm going, pay as I go???
