Hi Derek,

I have had the same experience, renovating in Tucson is crazy expensive. I have been told from my property management company it is because there aren't enough supply (handymen). I have been renovating studios in my apartment building and they are running close to $10,000. Thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing if others provide any potential solutions. 

Best,

Ivan

@Ornella Kaneza I use RPM Property Management and have been very happy with them. Please DM me if you would like to talk further

Hi Jesse,

I have 52 units in Tucson being managed by Real Property Management, you can look them up online since I can't put their phone number in here. Ask for Riana, she is awesome. 

Call me if you have questions.

Best,

Ivan

I just purchased 2 properties in Tucson and worked with @Elan Spreiser, he was fantastic. Please reach out if you have any questions.

@Karim E., I purchased 2 properties in Tucson in 2018 for a total of 52 units, the reasons are the following:

1. relative affordability of the properties

2. job growth in Tucson

3. U of A plans to grow student population by 50% by 2022 

I forget who put the specific statistics of this in a forum post but if you do a search I am sure it will come up. I am in the process of re-positioning the properties so I don't have much tangible experience as of yet but hopefully will soon.

I have purchased two deals this past year in Tucson using the same agent @Elan Spreiser and he was excellent, I recommend him. Feel free to DM me if you would like to discuss further. 

@Keoki Kimzin @Marco Zacarias Thanks guys, I will be coming out to Tucson January 7-9 and meeting with my property manager/realtor to discuss a 6 month/12 month plan. If either of you are available during that time to meet please let me know and would love to discuss each other’s projects to see how we may help each other out. Let me know and hope to meet both of you soon.

Hi Janet - I just purchased 2 multi unit buildings this year with the help of @Elan Spreiser. He is very knowledgeable, thorough and knows the Tucson market extremely well. If you have any further questions please let me know.

Patrick,

Thank you so much for the invite. I would love to attend however since I live in Northern California I will not be able to. Hopefully one day I will be able to attend. 

Thanks,

Ivan

@Paul Juell I believe it’s more about the management of the building instead of the area/location, if you have a good manager or good processes in place you take out 95% of the potential hassle and mistakes. Good luck, I really like Tucson’s potential and wish you much success.
