Newbie in Tucson, AZ

[Jonathan Reed]

Hey all, my name is Jon. I currently live and work in Tucson, AZ. I was born & raised here & plan to stay for the long haul.

I work at a local CPA firm that focuses mainly on tax preparation & bookkeeping. The work is semi seasonal as the busy part of the year is January - May and August - October to a lesser extent. As such, I work full time during those periods and part time for the remainder of the year.

I have been looking for a way to spend my time productively & supplement my income during the slower parts of the year. This is how I became interested in real estate investing. I have just started to dive into the wealth of knowledge available (blogs, youtube, podcasts). This search for real estate info has led me here. So hello & thanks for having me. I look forward to learning & investing soon!

Where do you get your info from Joe? Arizona's foreclosure rate is 0.7%. The national average is 2.1%. At the peak of the foreclosure crisis our foreclosure rate was 4.2% but that was several years ago. In addition, the delinquency rate in AZ is the 8th lowest in the nation. Decent foreclosures are few and far between here these days. Our foreclosure crisis has long since passed.
