I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the market here in Tucson @Ravi Singh. Historically we've functioned as Phoenix's little sister: we don't hit the highs of Phoenix but we avoided many of the lows, and our market tends to mirror but lag behind PHX.

Meeting info can be found here, in the BP Marketplace. That is where all of the official "Meetings and Happenings" are posted in the forums, per BP moderators.

Registration for the meeting is ultimately done through AZREIA.org's website, for clarification's sake...

Happy Holidays! Hope you are all getting hungry and doing your homework now that we are entering the investor golden season: the holiday season and early January...

This month I will be passing the microphone off to AZREIA preferred partner John Steinbeck, Vice President of Merchant's Lending in Scottsdale.

Mark will be sharing his extensive knowledge in the realm of running numbers on fix & flip properties. We will be estimating repair costs, determining after-repair values and predicting future profit margins for real deals here in Tucson. Come to this meeting with the deals you are analyzing, and your fears about actually putting money and time into a deal, and join us for a great discussion!

Pre-Register here: http://www.memberize.com/clubportal/EventDisplayNew.cfm?clubID=2645&EventID=254851&mo=12&tDate=%7Bd%20%272018-12-17%27%7D&fbclid=IwAR3_ba4rKljBl9_On_BJRy5ETrX4S1D43oqp-e3pUQxCp7xBjLDX9S7VJWg

As we always do, we will be getting together on the first Tuesday of the month to talk real estate and learn from one another. The meeting officially runs from 6-7pm, but folks are encouraged to come earlier or stay later for networking and to share recent success stories.

Tucson AZREIA New Investor Subgroup's vision is to get new investors into action: saving capital, learning the market and doing deals. To support you along the way meetings will include presentations on topics relating to the new investor, highly collaborative breakout sessions where you solve problems as a team, games and activities to instruct or facilitate conversation about RE and money, and a platform to crowd-source input from your peers about deals you're doing or problems you encounter on your journey into REI.

Please do note these meetings are not instructional: we are not presenting a step-by-step model on how to invest in real estate and we will not actively direct you on the path we (whoever "we" are) deem the best path for you. This is a chance to learn, talk with and get to know other investors around town.

Definitely @Paul Hensel. You are catching us in the middle of the lecture series but the audience is definitely novice investors. It's a good place to network and share ideas about how to go about changing that... ;-)

Happy Halloween everyone! 

Tucson's New Investor Subgroup of AZREIA was not deterred by there being a 5th Tuesday this month, and will be meeting per usual next Tuesday November 6th! You can register for the meeting by navigating to the Calendar of Events of AZREIA's website, or by clicking here: http://www.memberize.com/clubportal/EventDisplayNe...

As we always do, we will be getting together on the first Tuesday of the month to talk real estate and learn from one another. The meeting officially runs from 6-7pm, but folks are encouraged to come earlier or stay later for networking and to share recent success stories.

We are covering analyzing deals on Buy-and-Hold property this month. The next core competency in our "deal funnel" is know how to quickly, accurately and reasonably run numbers on potential deals, to arrive on maximum offer prices given your financial goals and buying criteria. We will talk about the math of cash flow, the economics of buy-and-hold real estate investing and what budgetary items novice investors forget to consider, at their own great peril. Don't miss it!

Please also note the change to our pricing structure: we are now fully integrated under the umbrella of the Arizona Real Estate Investor's Association's umbrella. Please see the website for registration information, and/or DM me with any questions.

Let me know if you have any questions about the Tucson market. I live, work and invest here and have several contacts on the commercial side of things.

We also have crowdfunding options in Tucson and Phoenix, if you're into that...

I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to talking with newer investors about different directions one could take when starting his or her real estate investing career. Let me know if you'd like to sit down sometime and talk strategy.

More broadly, I also run a subgroup of AZREIA for New Investors here in Tucson. We meet the first Tuesday of each month (here some info about our last meeting) and talk real estate. A pretty cool 1 hour discussion happened immediately after this month's meeting, with several members of the BP community sharing their experiences and concerns about investing here in Tucson. It was a really fun thing to be a part of...

Consider yourself welcome to our meeting next month.
