People like Central Tucson because it is close to the downtown that has a great food and night activity scene and is also close the University of Arizona campus that draws lots of parents and grandparents and people who just like the college campus vibeWest Tucson is a great option for the views, golfing and resort feel.

Other distractions include non income-producing activities - aka any distraction pulling you to do something other than speaking with and following up with people.How can I prepare myself?

When I was active, the O-4 Good Idea Fairies always tried to re-invent how we did business, and 95% of the time, they overcomplicated a simple process making our lives way harder.

Hi Brandon,Personally I think it all depends on what kind of "avatar" you are.If you have high risk tolerance and have time to spend, active strategies like flips and BRRRRs will yield better returns and more opportunities. 

The real trick is making sure you’ve got a handle on who’s active in your target area.

Quote from @Tanner Lewis: Hey Chelsea - I'm pretty active on the lending side in the Smokies since it's mainly rural STRs.

My name is Peter, and I am an investor actively seeking to connect with like-minded individuals and groups in the investment community.

@Isadore Nelson Yes, eviction is possible, but there are too many factors that need to be taken into consideration, active military family members, disabled veterans, building violations, maintenance issues and etc...

Once a year I take out all the credit cards and make a small purchase on each one which I then pay off in full just to make sure they stay activated.

I am really just looking to avoid the worst of the worst areas (anywhere with open air drug markets or active gang warfare / prolific violent crimes).
