I say it too often, but it's true: We have proximity to the mountains, 300 days of sun, great beer, legal weed, arts, culture, great restaurants and bars, and wonderful urban parks.

I am getting tempted to buy one of these T-***** that reads "Don't CA my AZ".If you are a CA liberal please remember that everyone in AZ carries at least one gun, the exterminator will come back every day until the scorpions are gone from your house (allow 2-3 months), and we are native habituate for rattle snakes.If you are a conservative, houses are half the price and twice the size and a good shoe beats the occasional scorpion every time.

Real estate is much art as it is numbers.Everyone has perceptions, opinions, including not limited to agents, contractors, project managers and ultimately - the investor shelling out the money. 

I had a very expensive liberal arta education that other people paid for.

1) Tribe of Mentors (short life advice from 100 or so successful people)2) The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking3)  80/20 Sales & Marketing4) When (On the art of good timing)

Most cases your local lawyer can handle this but just a detail.Happy to chat and exchange notes if you have any questions.Cheers,ART

Second, Airbnb helped us learn how to run a business which led to us quitting our jobs which led to starting two other successful businesses, so I consider the extra cash and experience liberating. 

@Art Perkitny wow thank you I will definitely look in to this.

Another one of my favorites is called The Art of Pizza.
