Gabrielle,

What do homes rent for in the area? I have a friend who's daughter will be attending Arizona in the fall. He could buy a house and have his daughter live there and rent rooms to her friends.

Thanks

Hi Don - it depends on the home and the number of bedrooms but the cost of a mortgage in this area is better than the cost of rent - it is something he should consider!  Let me know if I can help you help him anymore with the area and other questions he might have to help get his daughter settled!
