Phoenix has a REIA called AZREIA.com which I occasionally go to when I'm in town.

@Pritam Karmakar online sources like Redfin and Zillow are good starting points for small multifamily and the occasional larger multifamily deal.

We have been doing Rehabs for a couple of years and our marketing occasionally yields a property that we can buy at a discount but doesn't fit the full Rehab model.

I've had tenants who are late with rent occasionally by a few days, but they let me know in advance. 

Ironically, by making sure the existing resident is prioritized *and feels prioritized*, we have the ability to ask for the occasional special consideration (like doing a showing while the unit is occupied).

LisaWould love to have a forum on Tri City as I pick up occasional wholesale deals over on that side of the state.

I've commented about this multiple times.Pros: landlord friendly, low insurance rates (there are occasional tornadoes but my insurance is still very reasonable), no rent control, diverse industries so local economy is good Cons: property tax rates are high 2.77% and 2.7% for my properties (two different counties), being 2000 miles away is a disadvantage (bought Class C sight unseen), paying a property manager 10% of monthly rent (that seems to be the going rate for most PMs for long term rentals)DM if you would like to know more

I’ve read many and still occasionally need the help of a lawyer.

I understand better now the necessity of doing occasional walk-throughs on rental properties.

Pros: landlord friendly, diverse industries, stable economy, good suburban schools for kids (my kids went to Carmel schools when they were little), insurance costs are reasonable (occasional tornadoes)Cons: property taxes: mine are 2.77% Indy and 2.7% Hamilton County as an investor and they go up with no predictable pattern 17% for both homes recently, if you compare appreciation to California and western states, not as high, winter weather issues (frozen pipes if someone isn't checking on vacant properties
