Sounds like AZ is seeing similar growth to middle Tennessee. 

@Marc PossoffIn my opinion it’s the go to for rehabs and middle class new construction.

But does that mean you would have to consider things like the school schedule since most families with children would not want to move in the middle of the school semester?

-My motivation is financial freedom, and to open up my options in middle age (currently 25) but also for security for my family of 5.I'm interested in buy and hold, likely via BRRRR.

My managing director and I are going to New York this week February 6-7,2020 for the middle-market multifamily forum. 1.

They are glorified middle-men that siphon off value.

What is a good financing strategy to meet in the middle here?

You are going to get stuck in the middle anyhow, so you may as well question it on the tenants behalf

The MLS price winds up bid up to where it makes sense for the overwhelming majority putting 25% down in a Fannie loan, that's where our Econ 101 "supply and demand curves" meet in the middle on the fictional perfectly efficient open market that they pretend exists in Econ 101 (these podcast guests probably paid the MLS price for their first few properties, but haven't paid the MLS price for the last bunch of properties).All things in life have self-selection bias. :)
