This is straight from the landlord forms I purchased from BP"(B) The following furnishings are supplied with the Premises _________________________.

Following.  

I have no landlord experience and know that PMs usually charge 1 month's rent to find you a tenant and of course any repairs or maintenance that may ariseWith the following information, would it be better off to stay at my current apartment and just end my lease when it's time to take an assignment or should I purchase the duplex and possibly make extra income through cash flow and equity but also run the risk of repairs, maintenance, etc?

Just want everyone's opinion if we should get any of the following inspections done before closing:1) soil sampling / testing2) Survey 3) Well Report (we will be using city water)4) Title, Zoning and Usageor anything else you might think of.We have bought houses in the past, but this if the first time we are buying land for a future build.

So: Net net - Here is where I am with a dilemma between CHOICE 1 (Chandler Blvd/Ahwatukee Hills/Gilbert - PROVEN areas) for an "OK" return for relatively much less risk where I have to cough up 350K for a decent SFHor CHOICE 2 (San Tan/South of Queen Creek/Coolidge etc) for a bit more risk but better reward and incidentally better cash flow - and yes, LOWER price overall for the property around 200-275K and hence more manageable.With the following baseline assumptions:175-350K price rangeNo PoolDesert Landscaping in back and front yardBuilt in last 5 years and reasonably well upgraded to keep CapX low.Close to many (preferably high paying)  employers Around 3-4 Bedrooms, 2-2.5 Baths.

I've been following bigger pockets for quite sometime, but this is only my second post so please bare with me lol.  

I have a follow up question.

IMO the following map has the 'war zone' highlighted.

. ($283,000)If I were to put it under contract I would offer the following: - buyer will pay off the balance of the note ($295,000)- Seller will receive $275,000 in cash because buyer will cover the rehab cost to receive the Gross Potential Monthly Income- Seller will split the closing cost 50/50 with the buyerI would love to hear some input from the BP community.

He created some interest and I said I'd follow up with him a down the road, I never heard back.
