I sunny think it's

Issa,You win sunny boy I move on.

The house is a nice size (2049sqft) and has an enclosed pool area.

Except each transaction only costs the receiver 25 cents.I see 2 downfalls here:1) My funds are pooled with everyone elses funds in an account that I can't control and don't have access to.2) If a tenant makes a deposit on Monday, it won't clear until Thursday, possibly Wednesday.

I need to redo the pool and possibly put a new roof on as well as gut the inside.

Walk before you run.Learn before you commit.Learn and understand your strengths and weaknesses prior to any endeavor.I would highly recommend you first work for someone prior to jumping into the deep end of the pool.

I have an initial 100k and wanted to make a relatively conservative investment without muddying my hands too much ie I'm looking for a reputable RE company (public/private) in AZ - preferably Tucson) with a successful track record who'd take good care of my money and allocate it into some form of investment pool.

No credit cards, but bank to Dwolla to your bank.The thing that makes me uncomfortable about Dwolla is that your funds go in to someone else's "pooled bank account".

Less so now that the money is in a pool and the broker and his company deal with more of the day to day issues (which does reduce the return.)

more in renovation costs on the front end (like putting in-unit washer/dryers) and nice decks, but at least I get the best tenant pool that way as well.
