Hey All! Does anyone have a recommended Tucson realtor who specializes in STRs?

Last year I worked with Michelle Saroni on finding an investment property. I felt she was really knowledgeable and understood my parameters. I ended up buying a SFH home on a nice-sized lot and I am building an ADU on the property. Once that is done and rented I plan to work with her again to buy my next investment. We keep in touch and she has been helpful in connecting me with a contractor and subs.

Hi Melissa, I'm in the process of covering detached garage to an ADU, curious, how's it coming along? I just submitted plans to the city and now I'm looking for contractors/vendors. I try my best to stay motivated and focused even though had a few rough experiences on other projects before with them. Building a reliable network of contractors is one of my main goals for this year to help me scale up moving forward. I'm happy to collaborate and help fellow investors in the area.

I snowbird in AZ and WA and when I'm home in WA I Airbnb my Tucson place. It's an older place that needs some upgrades but every time I get anything done it's a half-*** job. I have almost an acre and would love to get some upgrades done on the electrical and start specking out an ADU but because of my experiences so far with everyone from electricians to handymen to landscapers I'm holding back for a while. I'd love to have a solid list of folks I could trust. Anyone on this thread still have any luck?

I really like United Electric. I don't have a landscaping company to recommend.

I want two things - I want help customizing a lease for my property. I want to establish a relationship with someone for future needs.
