Hello Everyone,  I am looking to learn about the top 3-5 problems which OOS investors are worried about or lose their good night sleep on.

BrendonWelcome to Bigger Pockets and good luck investing!

Good afternoon BP community.   

It's a good idea to consult with a real estate attorney or a financial advisor who is familiar with Arizona laws to understand the full implications.If you're considering a joint account with your brother, lenders will typically look at both parties' credit and financial situations.

It's good that your wife now has her license.

I've gone to a couple meetings and it can be a good place to meet wholesalers, agents, contractors, and other investors.Good luck!

Does anyone have any good experiances with sites like "propwire" or "deal machine" or any other intelligent skip tracing sites like these that you would suggest?

You can edit it, but be careful to not get too cute, the quality of your contract is the quality of your deal.2.
