#Scottsdale Emotional and physical well being: (We have plenty of bars and that doesn't do it we have plenty of events with drinks)Income and employment: Depends on what you do, but Real Estate is not on par with the majority of the income earned hereCommunity and environment: (We have plenty of bars and that doesn't do it we have plenty of events with drinks)Like others have said take it with a grain of salt.....Like living in Scottsdale and the above is a joke if some of you don't get it :)

@Michelle Ayala It sounds like around $7500 worth of repairs in what you listed, maybe more depending on quality of finishes.

WOW, thank you Andrew for your reply, it seems like if I purchase a brand new house, I will have to depend on the home price to increase and the chance is hard to predict.

Well, there are a few different ways to do this, with each way being a better fit depending on multiple variables such as risk tolerance, available time to run a project, the interest in running the project, and emotional grit.

You want someone who has clients that are real estate investors.Whether you get a tax refund is dependent on the tax you owe and the tax you've had withheld. 

Meaning does the value of the site depend on the zone change?

For us, it depends on the size of the asset.

Do I look at cap rate, pro forma cap rate, cash on cash ROI, or does it depend on what type of deal it is (i.e.: rental, flip, BRRR)?

If you're looking to do a flip, then you're more exposed to being hurt by a market drop so it really depends what strategy you're going for.I live in a very hot market where condos & townhouses typically close in 7 days or less (not uncommon for it to sell before open house) and usually over asking price.

I have a few contractors that can help depending on what you're looking for.
