Any recommendations or advice for deal structure, development landscape, and loan options is much appreciated!

'Purchase credits' or 'rent credits' should be addressed in the option as a price % concession for closing costs or 'landscaping allowance' or some such non-property condition issue.  

@Mark Graffagnino,Yes - the pictures make it look like it's "built-in"-to the ground.Could pose some landscaping challenges once the pool comes down.I'd be surprised if it's aluminum, also.

Also, a renovation designer will give you that uber-important curb appeal with exterior color, any façade upgrades, plus landscape and hardscape.After a few decades of viewing rehabs, I can immediately spot the unprofessionally designed finished product, and so can most potential buyers (even though they may not know exactly WHY they don't like it).If you provide a few pics of the homes you plan on renovating, what your rough plans are, and where the comps come in, I could try to direct you where to find a good building designer that would be specific to your needs.

All you would need is a reliable onsite madam, kitchen, cleaning  and landscaping staff.

It's very expensive to flip there but I have friends who are doing it successfully....I was just looking over some statistics for Maricopa County in AZ and the market is still very good for buyers and sellers...it's super competitive for small investors though!

I've been in the landscaping industry for 4 years now, all of which have been a foreman so I definitely know my fair share of landscapng, on top of that I have numerous other skills including hardwood floor installation and concrete restoration as well as epoxy coatings and decking.
