Repeat this strategy every couple years.If you really don't want to buy a primary residence and instead you want to buy an investment property then I would recommend a new build in Casa Grande for under $300k, this will require a 25% down payment and buying the rate down a little to break even on cash flow, but will be a very easy first rental property as it will be brand new and will not require any cap ex for many years and by the time it does require cap ex you will have raised the rent and gained enough equity to do a cash out refinance.

If most houses sell for $1m, and the high end for certain properties is $2.5m....I don't think I'd waste my time with a seller who wants half a million dollars more than the highest properties in the area.
