Tucson Arizona. A good place to start?

[Joshua D Black]

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.
