I asked him a few questions about the property he was showing and he knew from the questions I asked that I was a fan of bigger pockets.

-I like the idea of Scottsdale because the vibrant social scene and baseball stadiums (I'm a male in my 20s and SF Giants fan)-I am looking for a single family home (3-4 beds + pool)-Ideally would like to keep budget under $500k and from what I've seen that is not very doable in Scottsdale, but seems obtainable in Chandler-I've heard Mesa is a dirtier more crime ridden town (which I don't understand if its in between Scottsdale and Chandler)Morale of the story is I know nothing about AZ and want to invest in a place i wouldn't mind living, but with great rental potential.

I’d keep the ceiling fans.

I'm a big fan of commercial properties, especially because of the flexibility of commercial zoning.

We are fans of buying and holding, so if there was a correction or crash, we'd really just have to weather the storm, if there was one. 

Good Day my New England Friends! 

So i'm a huge fan of DCA (Dollar cost averaging).

But there is things that need work, bath room fan replace, several baseboard heaters not turning on.

@Jordan Murrell so nice to meet a fellow 'Cuse fan!!

In which case I would just use that cash to start investing in real estate directly while buying term insurance for the death benefit.Personally, I'm not a big fan of any of the Permanent Life products, and find them gimmicky.
