I can't give you specific numbers for a contractor, but from a legal standpoint, it is likely worth the cost. You could face significant liability if someone is injured by an improperly-assembled cabin. It would also be easier to insure and resell the cabin if you can prove that a licensed contractor put it together. Just some food for thought!

Phoenix is a great market with a lot of opportunities. I have an excellent lender who is experienced in VA loans, and I'm happy to answer any questions about the Phoenix market!

@Tania Reuben: phoenix is experiencing very healthy appreciation right now! We’re also popular with SoCal investors, as it’s a relatively short drive across the desert to get here when needed. Happy to discuss areas, strategies, etc!

Phoenix is experiencing great appreciation right now! Buy and holds are performing well. I'm happy to discuss neighborhoods, strategies, etc. 

@Brandon Witt: they can foreclose for delinquent dues (not fees for leaving your garbage out, etc.) My understanding is that it’s 12 months or $1200 before they can initiate foreclosure proceedings.

Tempe definitely has a healthy rental market! Chandler and Gilbert have been exploding lately, as well. (Chandler is consistently on the list of American cities with the fastest-rising rents.) Happy to discuss the Phoenix market and answer any questions you have!

Here in AZ, we are seeing a TON of appreciation. Buy a primary residence if you haven't already. In a few years, you'll have some equity and can decide how you want to put it to work!

Phoenix isn't cash flowing very well right now, but we have VERY healthy appreciation. It might make sense to diversify your real estate portfolio with some cash flow in the midwest AND some appreciation here in Phoenix. Happy to answer any questions I can about the Phoenix area!

Phoenix metro (including Scottsdale) is very popular with California investors. We are close enough that you can pop over when needed. Happy to answer any questions I can about the Phoenix market!

@Stone Jin is right - it's important to diversify your investment with both cash flow and appreciation. Phoenix just doesn't cash flow well right now, but it would be good to hold on the good performers to see the appreciation. Let me know if you have any questions specific to your Phoenix properties!
