In this brief exchange, a real‑estate analyst (Speaker A) evaluates a South Scottsdale property, highlighting key market dynamics—active remodel activity, strong short‑term‑rental (STR) pressure, high owner‑occupant demand, and strategic location near Old Town and the 101 freeway. The analyst outlines two primary deal strategies: a light cosmetic flip or a longer‑term hold, and specifies a target purchase price range of $650,000‑$700,000. The property owner (Speaker B) confirms the unit is an off‑market short‑term rental that he personally owns and that launched his entry into the industry. The conversation sets the stage for a deeper dive into investment tactics such as “leapfrogging” to acquire additional properties.

Initial read is that this is a strong South Scottsdale hold or flip, um, in this area. So have the remodel activity going on, STR, short-term rental pressure, strong owner-occupant demand, and proximity to Old Town and the 101. So these are important deal strategy options. Do a light cosmetic flip. Scroll down. The buy box target purchase is $650,000 to $700,000. Do you— is it listed or off-market?
That's off market and it's mine. It's my short-term rental that got me started in the industry.
Got it. All right.
So now basically what I'm doing with this is raising capital to buy a different house, get into another one. That's a good— that's a good plan. We call it leapfrogging.
