Brew your own coffee, brown bag your lunch and drive a beater.  

Also I dont think that the Expo 2020 will drive prices higher, like people will come for the expo and buy a house?

Trouble is, I'm not sure about turn key rentals as I've seen some experienced investors like freedom mentor (Phil P) try them and get out of them, recommending that you be within driving distance of your rentals.

For instance if you have not been able to rent your property for the last three months and you've really marketed it I think you should lower price to drive demand and get potential tenants because you've got to take into consideration those carrying cost that it's taking out of your pocket when your not have the unit rented out  

If your husband won't leave his kids(admirable), is driving 1hr leaving them? 

I need someone whohas a car and can drive to properties in S.

If I decide I don't want the property that void the sale and send my back my investment.I research (including driving by) over 1000 properties.

I live in Mesa, which is close to Chandler, and I can see renting a home out for a season like to snow birds or possibly during baseball spring training but never would have expected weekend/weekly rentals as out performing traditional rentals with the high turn over and marketing costs.You have my curiosity,Casey

All of the suggestions above are in close proximity to train or metro stations and buses so giving easy access to the rest of the city.Good luck with your search!
