Im also a local small investor with a few properties in Tucson.

They were lucky to get out breaking even or a small loss.

Had a few small problems but nothing major.

Start small, build a strong network, and conduct thorough market research to align with your investment strategy.

I originally priced based on comps of renovated small multifamily properties in my area (there wasn’t a lot at the time).

One of my clients found success by including a small home office setup since many military personnel work remotely during transitions.4.

I currently only have SFHs and small multiplexes.  

Starting with single-family and small multi-family properties is a smart choice, especially out of state.

He launched a small OZF to revitalize a vintage office building in a transitioning neighborhood.

Going from a $232K purchase to a $575K sale is no small feat, especially with a full excavation of the foundation and reframing involved.I’ve got a buddy who tried something similar outside San Diego last year.. he had to reinforce the entire property with a new slab and rebuild the interior layout from scratch.. definitely not for the faint of heart, but his final sale price turned heads in that local market.
