Several of my customers have recently closed on a few duplex/2 units in Maricopa.

Wholesalers will send you properties that fit your buy box, and you can work directly with them and a hard money lender to get the deal closed. 

Since you have a banking relationship with them they can help out with lower rates. 

While I’ve made great strides I expect it will be at least another 5-10 years before I get even close to where I want to be.

So far everything has been smooth and one of the houses has already rented before closing. 

I have help with the 10% and closing costs.

Its a full-service marketplace that purchases under-market properties, manages the renovations on your behalf to get them rent-ready and then manages the property for you for the first year post-closing and beyond if you need them to.

Source a hundred opportunities, make offers on ten that meet your criteria, and close on 1 or 2. 

You could also look at delayed financing if the value is close to 110K. 

And there are sub $100K houses and million dollar houses within twenty minutes of each other, but the market here is generally known on BP for the lower end.And to Allen's original point, while there is plenty of out of state attention, especially the lower you go on the price spectrum, there are plenty of people making money investing in this market (though they may not be chasing bottom dollar properties, shooting for the highest paper return possible).
