Is Tucson a good market for buy and hold SF homes?

[James McCormick]

I am in St. Louis, MO. I have a friend in Tucson who is considering rental houses in the Tucson area. I have no idea of the local areas. I expect that he would be looking for B or C properties. He would be looking for foreclosures, or at least properties that are in need of rehab, and would perform the work himself. We both have backgrounds in remodeling work.

Any advice that you could offer would be most appreciated.
