Main Presentation - Fireside Chat: Lease Option in Action, What's Working in Tucson, with Arturo Mojica

A 60-minute presentation with real estate attorney Jeff Watson showing a safer way to build monthly income in real estate. 

If you’re tired of: 

✔ Tenants, repairs, and surprise expenses
✔ Cash flow that goes up and down
✔
Real estate feeling like another job


There is another way. 

In this free 60-minute preview training, Jeff Watson will show you how everyday investors are creating predictable monthly income by sitting in the same position banks do.

No tenants. 
No rehabs. 
No complicated math. 

Just a clearer, calmer way to invest.

What This Presentation Covers

You'll discover:

✔ Why traditional rentals have become harder and less predictable
✔
What mortgage notes are (in plain English) 
✔ Why notes create steadier income than rentals  

✔ How people start without a huge amount of money
✔ Why the current market favors note investors 

 ✔ What’s covered in the 1-Day Saturday Training 



 This session is a preview, designed to help you decide your next step.

Who Should Attend

This Preview is for you if:

✔ You want predictable monthly income
✔
You’re tired of guessing in real estate
✔
You want a safer way to invest  

✔ You don’t want tenants or rehabs
✔  You want clarity, not hype 
 

You do not need prior experience

Meet the Speaker: 

Jeff Watson is a real estate attorney with over 30 years of experience. 

Throughout his career, Jeff has been called in when real estate deals went wrong — bad structures, bad assumptions, and unpredictable outcomes. 

Today, Jeff focuses on teaching investors how to avoid those problems altogether by building predictable income using mortgage notes. 

His approach is practical, simple, and focused on safety.

Seats are limited. Come learn what’s working and why before the next opportunity passes you by.

Beyond the Airbnb Hype - The Real Business of Short-Term Rentals - AZREIA Tucson Monthly Meeting, Wednesday, October 14, 2026

This month

Short-term rentals are sold as passive income. They are not. They are a hospitality business that sits inside a piece of real estate, and the investors who win at them run them like one.

Jeremy HoldenAZREIA Short-Term Rental Subgroup Leader and Phoenix STR operator

Jeremy walks through what the business actually looks like: which Arizona submarkets still pencil, the costs most revenue projections leave out, what it really costs to get a property guest-ready, and what your week looks like once bookings start. Then a live panel of three working STR operators answers the questions you would only ask someone who has done it.

What you will learn

  • How to read an Arizona STR submarket and tell real demand from wishful thinking
  • The setup and operating costs that never make it into the listing spreadsheet
  • What separates a five-star operation from one that bleeds cash
  • Regulation, HOAs and licensing in Tucson and Pima County: what to check before you buy
  • Whether an STR is the right play for your next property, or a mid-term or long-term rental wins

Fireside Chat: Lease Option in ActionWhat's Working in Tucson

Tuesday, November 10, 2026 · Doors 5:45 PM · Event 6:00 - 8:30 PM Keller Williams Building, 1730 E River Rd #200, Tucson · Hybrid · In Person + Online

Lease options get talked about as a workaround. Arturo Mojica has been running them in Tucson as a working strategy for years. A former engineer, he left the corporate world to build a cash flow portfolio with his wife Maria, and since their first rental in 2008 they have put together single family, student, lease option and sober living rentals, with a HomeVestors franchise adding wholesaling and fix and flip on top. This month he sits down for a fireside chat on what is actually working in this market.
