I'm wondering if anyone for the Tucson market including Green Valley, Oro Valley, Marana, Vail or Sahuarita Arizona AZ (Keyword Bomb) attends a REI meeting in the market that isn't about selling, just pure networking and getting to know who's active around our community? @Jeffery Hayes was talking about starting one and I like the idea, but wanted to see if there is anything currently.

Hi Chantel, and welcome to the world of never ending research and resource that is BP.  I'm just beginning as well, looking for my first opportunity here in Tucson. Good luck to you, hope to see you around the community!

Welcome to BP, great resources here! I'm also new to REI and I'm in Tucson. I like that you're young and motivated AND have chosen to focus your energy on real estate NOW. I only wish I had started the journey sooner instead of playing around in small business! Best words of advice I can give about any subject...

Learn ferociously for a short period of time (always with the intent of applying the knowledge), take a few of the concepts you learn into the real world on a small scale to actually feel it and gain confidence, make a plan with short and long term goals and then attack it. Don't stand on the sidelines while others play the game for fear of failure!

Good luck, see ya on the field

I'm interested to hear why you're leaving your current manager as well Matt. I don't know much about the subject of PM but I am interested and would like to hear what to look out for and what issues to address in the future when hiring. Basically, I would like to learn from YOUR pain, so I have less chance of feeling that myself! :) Thanks in advance.

 Some very well could be. I assume they would have to have some prearranged deal where they market each others properties and offer a commission split for the sake of getting units sold faster.

 Thanks for the input, that's good to know there's a human presence in the market checking out the properties!

Have you checked out any of the deals they're offering? I had a guy send me info on a property he had here in AZ and I think he's from the midwest?! I'll contact him tomorrow and see if I can have a look at the property. I just find it hard to believe that without checking out a property, you can vouch for what you're pushing? But maybe I'm wrong, I'll let you know what I find out.

 You're a true inspiration Anthony, congrats.  I love seeing it CAN be and IS being done in Tucson,  I hope everything goes well. Get's me fired up!

HAHAHAHAHA!! Until you stumble on the next deal of the century where you can blow your budget out of the water and still net $77k! I mean, if the deals that good you can't pass it up, JV with someone to "babysit" and STILL make close to $40k ... call me Mary Poppins! :p Great job BTW, rehab looks great.

I'm wondering if there are any wholesalers in the Tucson market? Someone who does it full time as their profession? Maybe in the surrounding areas like Oro Valley, Green Valley, Marana, Sahuarita, Benson, Sierra Vista, Etc. If anyone knows, PLEASE get me contact info!
