Had a great time in Phoenix before Christmas and I would like to share with you what I learnt:
Prices in Phoenix keep rising, in the East Valley (Intel and most hi-tech) houses are sold with multiple offers, so the chances of getting a house from the MLS are smaller that they used to be...
Inventory is decreasing so if you are serious about investing- don't procrastinate!
My favorites for January:
1. 4bedrooms/2bath- 2290 sqf in Tolleson (popular suburb, close to Phoenix).

Seller's price: $99,900
Repairs: 8,500 (already completed)

This house is one of my favorites because of the spaciousness of the kitchen and living areas.
The master bedroom and bathroom are huge! Tenants will love it!
