Hi Everyone! Newbie in Phoenix AZ,

[Austin Pinkstaff]

Hey everyone, my name is Austin. My wife and two kids live in Gilbert, AZ. My full-time job is a Program Manager for a large Caterpillar dealership here in the area. My wife works full-time as an engineering manager for the Boeing Company. We have lived here in Gilbert for 7 years and are looking to start our Real Estate investing journey to build wealth and hopefully have some freedom and flexibility down the road. The markets we are looking at are included:

-Greater Phoenix Area (Gilbert, Chandler, Peoria, Glendale, Deer Valley)

-Greater Las Vegas, NV area (Henderson, NV)

-Colorado Springs, CO 

I can't wait to start this journey and recognize how great having a community like this is. We are flexible with the asset type for real estate, but would like to dive into the STR, MTR, LTR, and possibly small multi-family rental. Would love. Hoping to connect with a good agent and lender that can work with us to find some great opportunities. Reach out if you happen to be in the East Valley and want to chat over coffee. Thanks!

Hey Austin. Welcome to BP and starting your RE Investing journey!

Pinpointing good rental deals is a bit harder in today's market, but can defintely still be found. It's also shifting to a Buyer's market so it's not a bad time to get a solid deal. There are also some interesting SFHs w/ casitas in the east valley, which create a cool hybrid multifamily investment scenarios. 

I work with investors (new and seasoned) all across Greater PHX in identifying the investing route that makes sense to venture towards and developing a game plan around it. 

I'd also highly recommend connecting with @Clayton Silva on the lending side. Clayton specializes in investment properties (which I find rare in the lending world) and is top tier. 

Cheers!
