With expertise in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Peoria, and West Valley resort-style communities, I guide you to homes with the highest potential for STR approval, cash flow, and long-term appreciation.

RECENT CLIENT WINS
PEORIA, AZ | VISTANCIA | 1031 EXCHANGE STRATEGY | $2M CALIFORNIA ASSET → STRONGER CASH FLOW AT HALF THE PRICE
This client completed a 1031 exchange from California into Arizona, repositioning a $2M multifamily asset into two single-family rentals in Vistancia, Peoria, AZ. While the California property generated solid rent, high taxes, insurance, and tenant-friendly laws limited efficiency. The Arizona strategy delivered stronger cash flow, lower operating costs, and reduced risk.
California → Arizona Portfolio Shift
• Sold $2M California multifamily
• ~$3,500/month net per owner and ~$20,000/year in property taxes
• Two Arizona rentals under $1M total
• ~$4,500/month combined rent and ~$5,000/year total property taxes
This win highlights why investors are moving capital to Arizona’s more owner-friendly markets. Same capital. Smarter deployment. Better outcome.
SCOTTSDALE / 85254 | SHORT-TERM RENTAL WIN | TURN-KEY STR → MAXIMUM LEVERAGE + TAX STRATEGY
This client secured a fully furnished, turn-key short-term rental using precise timing, strong negotiation, and a clear end-of-year tax plan. The goal wasn’t just to buy an STR — it was to acquire a ready-to-perform asset that qualified for bonus depreciation while minimizing upfront risk.
Deal Highlights
• $170,000 BELOW list price
• ALL furniture and contents included
• Seller paid ALL closing costs
• Brand-new roof paid by seller
• New multi-panel slider for indoor/outdoor living
By moving early, we capitalized on a seller ready to exit STR operations — creating leverage that translated into exceptional terms. This win reinforces a simple truth: STRs still work when approached strategically.
Right property. Right timing. Right plan.
PHOENIX, AZ | MULTI-UNIT PURCHASE | $3,300 RENTAL INCOME → $1,700 NET HOUSING COST
These buyers wanted to live in Scottsdale or North Phoenix, but rising prices made the monthly payments feel out of reach. To solve this, we pivoted to a multi-unit strategy, securing a property with a main unit for personal use plus two rentable spaces. Without major renovations or heavy investment, they created multiple income streams, allowing them to live in a prime location while dramatically reducing their monthly housing cost.
Multi-unit home with main residence + guest house + detached office
Guest house and detached office can lease for $3,300/month = Effective housing cost: $1,700/month (vs. $5,000 mortgage)
In competitive markets, multi-unit strategies can turn high-cost areas into financially viable opportunities. This win shows how income-producing solutions can reduce payment pressure, build equity faster, and unlock locations that most buyers assume are out of reach.
SURPRISE, AZ | FIRST-TIME BUYER SUCCESS | INSTANT EQUITY + 4.25% RATE + FUTURE CASH FLOW
This first-time buyer in Surprise, AZ approached the process with a clear goal: secure a home with long-term upside, strong rental potential, and immediate financial leverage. We locked in a brand-new home in a gated, resort-style community, becoming only the second closing in the entire neighborhood.
Because we moved early and strategically, she secured pricing and incentives that are already outperforming the market. With a 4.25% fixed rate, closing costs paid, backyard landscaping included, and instant equity on day one, this home positions her not only as a homeowner but as a future investor ready to build wealth in the West Valley.
In the rapidly growing Surprise market, early-phase new construction remains one of the most reliable ways to secure equity, below-market pricing, and future cash-flow potential. This win shows how first-time buyers can use timing, incentives, and strategy to step into homeownership and position themselves for long-term investment success, even in a competitive market.
