Post: Tucson AZ Property Managers

Hello, My father has a home out in Tucson Az and I am looking to help provide him with some good property managers to interview. Who would you recommend in the area? thanks!

Personally I used Dave Ramsay's plan to get out of the debt I had. Was about 30000 and I managed to do it in about a year-year and a half on 60000 a year. Once you get debt free and have an emergency fund is when i would recommend investing. Of course it can be done with other people money, but that comes at a very high risk. https://www.daveramsey.com/dav... I believe steps 1-3 are universal, beyond that individuals can make personal choices with their money :) good luck!

Hello all, I am looking to buy my second home but my first investment property in Omaha Nebraska. I am a SSgt in the USAF(E-5) and currently have a single family home where myself and my wife rent out extra rooms to 2 roommates for a total of 900 per month. I am looking for a deal below market and i have been reading about using other people money or different ways to purchase properties without cash on hand or a minimum down payment, currently i am debt free with the exception of my current house which is a VA loan and has almost no equity due to the fact i just refinanced down to 2.75 percent. I would love to work for someone in the local area for free in my off time from my military job for the opportunity to learn. I am wondering if anyone has any experience who was in a similar situation or recommendations for action steps to move forward. also my credit score is sitting around 800. Thanks in advance for your tips and advice, i look forward to learning from everyone. Also if by chance you are interested in mentoring me please direct message me and i will gladly pay for a meal for us to sit down and talk :D

i have some questions about some electrical stuff in the house. so there are no gounds for seems like almost everything in the home. and they have some fuses that are oversize. my dad said that other than just changing out the box to a newer style that the wiring through the house may need to be upgraded because the old wires cant handle the loads anymore and were tripping the fuses so the previous owner just upped the fuzes. what are your thoughts? obviously its hard to say without a whole inspection so that's noted :)

My father is a life long carpenter and he has a large problem with the photo i have attached. i was wondering if anyone could give me input on the situation. Is this an easy fix or is this something that could get pricey the issue he has is the 2x4's supporting the roof. any input from experienced carpenters is much appreciated. my dad has incredibly high standards for things so i am trying to get a second opinion.
