If you like the idea of living in a newer more modern home, like to be close to shopping and major restaurants, something more east may be best.

After the flooding I am starting to shop around for a contractor to install the sheet-rock.

Then you can offer a short term lease for the off season.If you are looking for an AirBNB type, you may consider something further North into Scottsdale that would allow for access to some of the events I mentioned, as well as close proximity to shops and dining. 

This property is a 6 unit (1 - 3bd, 2ba; 4 - 1bd, 1ba; 1 studio) and is adjacent to a local college campus.

We are still in the lender shopping phase and our current lender had told us previously that a house with a bad carpet or needing painting external/internal shouldn't be a concern.Well fast forward and there was a house we were interested in.

Look on Bigger Pockets and connect with folks that purchase in your area and see what they are looking for and then go shopping.2.

Nice pocket (6 out of 10), 10 minutes to nearest shopping center.

Be careful about these 'one stop shop' situations in a market you know nothing about.

Feel free to PM me your contact info and I can pass it on so you guys can talk shop and BBQ shrimp or whatever it is you guys do down there.

We figure we can set up shop in a city for a couple of years while we find a good support team and pick up several rental properties, then move along to another city to find more rental properties and diversify.
