Thank you everyone for your suggestions and experienced advice! I will perform an inspection when I take ownership and hope for the best.

I am pretty pumped about buying my first rental property in Tempe Arizona! There are college student tenants currently occupying and whose lease is up in about 3 months. It occurs to me that I don't really know the condition of the property prior to them moving in and when they move out I will need to do an inspection. How can I know/prove if they have cause damages to the property without knowing the condition of it prior to their lease? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I have spent the past two months learning everything I can about real-estate and have been loving it! It is my addiction and BP is my dealer. I have also been looking in the Phoenix area for properties that meet the 1-2% rule to buy and hold. I need a Realtor familiar with investment properties in the Phoenix area to help me find multi-family units that meet the 1-2% rule. Perhaps I will need to move to other markets. I am also hoping that BP will help me find and develop relationships with other like-minded individuals with whom I can grow. I do this all in hopes that one day I will achieve my goal of being interviewed by the Dorkin himself on THE BP podcast!
