Tucson Arizona. A good place to start?

As I begin my journey as a real estate salesman and investor, I can't help but wonder: is Tucson really the best place to start? Our economy is among the worst in the country but it has been slowly growing over the past few years. The average cost of single family dwellings is around $180,000 with an average residential income of about $48,000. I'd love to hear from some people in the area and learn your horror stories as well as your successes. Also, I'd love to build a relationship with anybody looking for a go to Realtor to get things done.

A partner of mine lives in Tucson - and I went on a real estate tour there.  On the whole, I like it.  The wages are not that high, but it is propped up by retirees settling there and the University.   I predict that region will continue to grow.  Investing in your backyard seems like a good way to start out.
