I just received my Real Estate Salesman License and want to cost out marketing materials and hit the road running.

I am considering firing them now even though a competent contractor could have it all done in 2 weeks.

Remember, most are unlicensed and brokering without a license, have no accountability to state boards, operate as fringe operators skirting laws, may be correctly called public nuisances, have no insurance, etc.

Anyone able to refer me to a good contractor in Tucson AZ.

Licensed with Earthworks is ok, lone operator welcome, we can rent the equivalent.

Be sure to also factor in a property manager because I am assuming you will move away from there eventually and not want to manage a long distance rental.Getting contractors is sometimes tough if you are out in a smaller town as some of them have schedules booked up for months.

I'm determined to get my real estate license this year.  

so long as they are familiar with philly (licensed in PA and knowledgeable in Philly housing market as well as being experienced in hud regulations) you should be o.k.Kudos,Mary

Your "contractor" friend is completely off base.

As for rental rates out there, I would not be able to speak to that without looking them up.We have our TN license and currently purchase for out of state institutional investors all the time.
