Tucson Real Estate Meet Up

[John Powell]

Hi, I was recently looking at turnkey properties out of state and I've stared blindly at the MLS here in Tucson for a while. I had a couple of turn key props inspected and I passed on them in Kansas City. Too many issues for my taste. Structural home issues in basement/mold etc. I even tried an FSBO that was just too much work here in town related to the asking price. So, I've passed on three properties and lost a little money. I've decided turn key is not worth the risk.... I'm reading up more on ways to find properties and financing. Recently attended an AZREAI meeting and I'm wanting to just network more on here and get some head knowledge. The biggest road blocks for me, seem to be the best way to find properties(Or what works for you) and ways to obtain financing on properties off the MLS. I keep on getting the feel there aren't a ton of investors doing this and that it requires paying someone. Are there any people that get together and gain knowledge together/leads? The local meets are cool, but even once a week on a Sunday would be great!
