If you can get some of the "winter visitors" to do a 30+ day rental that could be good, but that only covers you for the winter and location really matters as well as accessibility on the house. Then you could go shorter term in the summer possibly. I've also seen the 30+ day rentals for travel nurses. 

I knew someone who didn't get a licensed contractor and this other person they knew had a grudge against them and they reported it when they went to sell the home and they had to rip out all the drywall in the house to get it inspected. It was a mess.

Thank you @Francis Jonas Helstab

@Adam Sherwood I've never heard of a travel nurse specific agent, but I'd be happy to figure that out.

@Emmanuel N Okafor have you looked into a portfolio loan?

@Corbett Brasington Depends. If you have everything you need they would be more of like a transaction coordinator. Making sure everything gets done properly and on time. That would free you up to do more prospecting and more deals. As an agent myself this is something I'd do and frankly if you already have everything done and do it on a regular basis I'd just negotiate a flat fee or percentage per acquisition that they coordinate once you find it. 

Find an agent you trust and use them as leverage. For knowledgeable investors that is the biggest benefit that an agent can offer you.

Throw them back

@Michael Angulo Arizona has some amazing investment opportunities. I'd be happy to share some of the opportunities with you.

@Jordan Brown Tempe opens up the possibility of renting to students. Especially in a condo with multiple rooms you can rent out individually. Students tend to be rougher on properties though. Also if you get something near the Sun Devil Stadium it can be a great short term rental as well. 

For long term I really like single family homes. For winter visitors I recommend condos because no maintenance. There's a few different methods in tempe that work same with the East valley. 

@Marco Masanotti my advice would be to research and understand FIRPTA before buying here in the USA and then go for it. I'd recommend talking with a tax attorney.
