If you go to Google Earth and zoom in on Tucson, Arizona and then go about 60 miles northeast,you'll see a whole bunch of green and black circles (and a few squares). Anyone know what these are? Better yet... type in "south fort grant road" and it should take you right there.
Arizona and Sonora state officials were bombarded with criticism Wednesday from more than 100 people at a Phoenix forum on real-estate frauds and failures in northern Mexico.
"You're stealing our money," said one American, facing Sonora's tourism director. "You suck our money into Mexico, where you've stolen it."
Thousands of Arizonans have bought property in Puerto Peñasco without problems, but an Arizona Republic story in November described how some buyers in a development known as Playa Norte, or North Beach, lost millions of dollars after the project became mired in Mexican court battles. If Americans dare did anything like this we would have human rights abuse,they would be in the street protesting and demanding chargres be filed would you agree they would do this? On Wednesday, American investors spent 2 1/2 hours telling of what they said were land scams that victimized them through false contracts, unethical lawyers, altered property lines and unfulfilled promises.
Arizona Real Estate Commissioner Sam Wercinski convened the meeting to hear residents concerns because he and Gov. Janet Napolitano have received numerous complaints about rip-offs.
The crowd responded with angry challenges.
"My question is: When in the hell do you know that you have title, that you really own it in Mexico?" asked Monty Wallace, a 55-year-old Tucson resident who lost his retirement fund in Puerto Peñasco, also known as Rocky Point. "Everything, all my money . . . the Sonoran government is scamming us." http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0306rockypoint06.html Is there some reason within the world of morals Mexico can abuse Americans and take their money with no one helping them help to recover their investments? Does Mexico even have to obey any laws and why isn't the America Government doing anything to help these people? Folks we are taking about millions of dollars and Mexico gets away with taking money without anyone doing anything.Mexico claims it's only one bad apple,sounds like a millions of dollars worth of bad apples.
My sister and her husband are moving their family for a new job in Tucson. The place they live now is low crime, great schools, hometown atmosphere (Amarillo, TX). What kind of changes should they expect? How are the schools? Where is a nice location to live, etc.? One more thing....how hot is HOT?
I want to do community service for my college/future job resume. where and what kind of community service can i do in tucson, arizona??? Please write at least a paragraph, because usually people just write a sentnce and that really won't help unless you have site I can go to. Thankyou.
I am totally shocked that the Suns games are not shown in Tucson. I mean it is still in the same state and it only like 80 miles away from the stadium. I do not want to pay for a special service to the Suns but there has to be a way to see them in Arizona if you do not live within Phoenix.
For some reason Cox doesnt show the games and qwest doesn't have service down here. Its amazing how pathetic the TV service is down here.
Please help
I am starting to look for an investment property in Phoenix or Tucson. I am after solid property with instant positive cash flow, should not be too hard to find these days. I tried to contact several of my "old" lenders who either lent funds to me or expressed interest in my deals in the past. Now when I tried to contact them they don't respond at all. I now live overseas, but have US based income as well as plenty of equity in Arizona real estate. It's almost as if lending business went dead. The point is that I am looking for a lender or mortgage broker that a) understands real estate investing b) still provides low doc loans. I am self-employed, decent income (both US and abroad), excellent credit score, never had a credit blemish on my report. Plenty of equity in real property (land). No debt. US citizen. Experienced in real estate investing. If you know a good contact that can work with me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot in advance!

I will be moving to Tucson, Arizona (The southeast side) in September. What is the average cost in utilities for a small 2/3 bedroom house? There will be 2 adults and a toddler. Hopefully we can use a fan to beat the heat moreso than the air. Trying to put together a budget. Thanks!
My friend wants to make a 100% cash, no-finance offer on a house in Tucson, and he was told by his agent that he could not submit a bid without a pre-approval letter for a loan. Is this right? Is this legal? Thanks for any help...
