Just a quick note to say hello and intruduce myself. My name is Doug, I'm a REALTOR and work with investors purchasing properties through the Trustee Auctions.
I'm looking forward to getting to know the members of BiggerPockets!
Welcome to the site, Doug. Nick thinks that Arizona is taking over the world, and soon, BiggerPockets as well. Regardless, it is good having you on board.

Forgive me Joshua, it was late and I awoke with my foot in my mouth. I stand corrected. Deeper Pockets is what happens when you associate with BiggerPockets!
Welcome to BP Doug! This is coming from the east valley too. Ive never actually been out in your area I hear its gotten real nice, although I did see it from the top of camelback today... that was a rough hike...
It was a great day for a hike here in paradise. Thanks for the hello Matt! Tempe is a great area but you should come visit us sometime on the West Side. Sierra Verde in Arrowhead was voted the best neighborhood in Phoenix in 2008.
Welcome, Doug. Good to have one more person from Arizona. I am a brand new Arizonan myself, having moved here just last week. Not sure which "valley" I am in because the place looks mostly flat with a couple of brown hills here and there.
Doug is a west sider b/c he's in Glendale, I'm an east sider b/c I'm on the phoenix/scottsdale border in a little known neighborhood called 'Arcadia', if you see the mountain that looks like a camel laying down chilling, I'm at the bottom of that mountain to give you perspective. I'm trying to make my way to the north side of that mountain :mrgreen:
Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Tempe and Queen Creek are all east siders. Glendale, Avondale, Peoria etc... are all west siders and pretty much dirty, dirty people(j/k Doug E. Fresh)
Nick, I am in Chandler so I am an East Valley guy, I guess. I did check out the west side the other day - went to a place called Waddell. Quite some drive. Interesting place, too. People were driving around their neighborhood in ATVs and kicking up some dust. Have you seen the movie Mad Max? I felt like I was in it.
