    Hey Katelyn! 
    Work closely with a couple of investor friendly agents in that area.  If it's helpful happy to make a recommendation.

    If you’re buying Phoenix from out of state, I’d actually back up one step before choosing the agent.

    Define the buy box and operating model first — neighborhoods, price range, rent target, rehab tolerance, financing, minimum return, and what would make you walk away. Then find an agent who can execute against that instead of letting the agent define the strategy for you.

    For an “investor-friendly” agent, I’d want evidence they actually work investor deals: recent transactions, realistic rent/rehab assumptions, contractor/property-management relationships, and somebody who will tell you not to buy a property when the numbers don’t work.

    We’ve been building systems around exactly this problem — separating the property intelligence and underwriting from the person selling you the property so you can make cleaner decisions from a distance.

    If you want, reach out. Happy to compare notes on what you’re targeting in Phoenix and point you toward the right kind of setup.

    Hey Katelyn! What type of property are you looking for, and is the plan to hold it as a rental or flip it?

    I work in property management with Renters Choice Homes. For a buy-and-hold, I'd ask prospective agents how they validate rent estimates and account for make-ready work, vacancy, maintenance and HOA rental restrictions.

    Having the rental assumptions checked before you buy can help avoid surprises after closing. Which Phoenix submarkets are you considering?
