BiggerPockets has a Find An Agent tool that connects you with investor-friendly market agents.

While I'm more familiar with the Montana market, I'm always happy to connect and share insights or answer any specific questions you might have about this area.As for Arizona, I'm not as well-versed, but this platform is full of knowledgeable members who might be able to help.

I'd be happy to connect you with them.

We should connect sometime.

In general, travel for business(education, networking) is deductible if you are already in a trade or business(I.E. have a rental, flip).There are unique rules to deduct foreign travel costs.attendees may have a more difficult time writing off the cost of the trip if they add significant vacation days(no business) before or after the trip.However, you can plan properly to make the trip 100% deductible.

I Look froward to meeting and connecting with fellow like minded people.
