What do I need to know when buying property in Arizona?

When we asked expats what advice they would give a foreigner before buying a property in Arizona, they said:

"Before buying property in Arizona, it is important to understand the specific purchasing process, local zoning laws and other applicable regulations. You should research the neighborhoods in which you are interested in buying and consider the local school districts and other resources that may affect your decision. Additionally, consider all associated costs, including closing costs, property tax, insurance and repairs. Be sure to hire a qualified real estate lawyer to assist with the transaction, review the contract and handle the closing. Finally, understand the risks associated with buying a property in a state where it does not rain often," said one foreigner living in Arizona.
