My parents are considering coin-op units at their rentals and I would love to spare them some headache. 

I recommend before spending thousands of dollars on this you speak to your CPA and your attorney as they will understand your overall financial position and the risk.The question I love to ask is "what are you afraid of being sued for that insurance would not cover you on?"

I would love here your updates you make on the way.  

Hey Nicholas, I’m an investor and realtor based in Indianapolis, and I’d love to help you explore opportunities here.

We have around $150,000 available for investment.We understand that finding deals in this price range in Phoenix itself might be challenging, so we’d love to get your input on areas near Phoenix where our budget could work.

I'd love to know this as well.I do pickup a listing or 2 per year from Craigslist.  

Would love to be corrected if that's not the right understanding.

I love SFH and was looking for ways to still play as the "easy answer" of moving to a new city where I have zero competitive advantage or scale feels like a much larger undertaking.

Stand out, be unique, and offer something of value that you would love if you were a traveler (cleaning service, amenities, a theme, etc.)Happy to help you find a place if you want some help on the agent side.

I am exiting the rental market here (love living here tho).
