Within a month, I am getting calls at all hours of the night with complaints about noise, smoking, screaming, and the like.

@Kate C. 

Hello everyone, the Phoenix market is hot but not many screaming deals for cash flow, at least I think.

Those who have good jobs usually buy homes — I read a stat that 65% of people in Cody own a home.Maybe I'm a bit misled by stats, but I don't see — with the exception of the rare screaming deal — how a rental property could cash flow here, especially considering I wouldn't put more than 20% down on a place.

To me, your original post and responses don't scream that you have a true set plan yet, so keep revising and doing homework.

Kate - thanks for the  question ....several variables  will  affect the  rate for INV  properties :  credit score / loan to value /  type of property  1-4 /  type of  loan ......if you add  soem of these details -  your  responses will likely be more accurate and helpful

Coming from the OC getting into any of the above mentioned arenas requires a large amount of cash or finding a screaming deal.  

Then she immediately turned around and called her husband and screamed at him over the phone "...YOU THREW AWAY THE SEAWEED SALAD I MADE FOR YOU!...

why waste your time trying to punish him, just see what you get as a result of your discovery"  Seriously, "just business" I'm guessing if that happened to you, you'd be doing double screaming backflips...I know I would be.
