my first suggestion would be stop advertising you have X amount of $$$ publicly.
Determine what you want to do, then research based on your wants and needs without the $$$ being a publicly made fact.
Snakes will come out of the woodwork if they smell someone with $$$ and not sure what to do with it.
Consider re-asking the question: where is your investing dollars getting the best bang here in Phoenix etc.... No mention of $$$
In the meantime, connect with a lender, interview realtors and look to get referrals to financial planners, tax/estate planners. Leave the fact that you have X$$$ out of the equation either initially or all together. We're all humans, the responses you get will vary if people know this about you. It will go from serving you to serving themselves.

Probably the first people to contact would be a mortgage broker about lending possibilities and a real estate agent about finding a property. Or, you can try to find one through another more investment-minded method like mailings, in which case YellowLetters.com is a good place to start.

Do condos move in Phoenix?
You might want to consider the market before buying. Check the HOA rules and fees, too.
Aren't there any SFH that fit your budget? I know that Phoenix was hit hard back in the day and you might find some deals in talking with bank's asset managers.
Since you have good credit and no other homes, except the condo, they might lend you what you need to purchase. You might have to talk to another lender for rehab costs. I don't know if the bank will add that to any LOC. Or use your $50K for rehab costs and get a LOC for the purchase. Make sure you have enough cash on hand for closing, fees, and holding costs.

You first need to find your market...and the answer isn't Phoenix...because that's where I live...and I know it really well. If you are in a market that doesn't work, you can't force it. Of you know that market really well, that knowledge should tell you "not to invets there".

@Joe Villeneuve Please elaborate. There is a ton of competition in Phoenix, but that is because the market does work. We have a lot of people making a lot of money out here, myself included.

That could get you preapproved for a line if credit of $250,000 plus. That way whenever your ready to invest you can draw down on it and close quickly instead of waiting weeks or more

I will suggest you decide/detremine what you really want in REI first. Then do some market research to determine which market works ( not necessarily where you live- out of state/remote investing through (true) turnkey provider is an option)

Explain more?
He if the borrower has at least 50k liquid in bank account, ira, 401k or any type of investment account I can get him preapproved for a line of credit for five times the amount he has. That way whenever he finds a good deal that he needs to close asap on he will have the funds available with waiting two, three weeks to close and potentially losing the deal

I have all of the above... are you telling me you think you can get me a LOC of 5 times whatever liquid cash and investment accounts I have? What is it based on? Sounds too good to be true to me

It should be easy to get a HELOC on the free and clear condo as well. Education and experience is key as suggested by the posts. Do more homework, understand your goals, and come back with a deal and you may get more definite suggestions at that point. Good luck.

Have you considered Yuma? I know of an owner financed condo in a very good very well established area that needs no work and has ten months left in a current good lease, message me for details if you're interested.
