Newbie to Bigger Pockets here

[Lloyd Loftis]

Aloha,

My name is Lloyd and I am a newbie here on Bigger Pockets. Been reading a lot of books to get started on real estate investing, but want to/ ready for the next step. I'm 28 years old and live in Honolulu, Hawaii where the cost of living is just crazy expensive hence the want to begin my real estate investing journey. I am fortunate enough to have good friends who started real estate investing and we have been talking about investing in Ogden, Utah. Some of the things I was wondering as I start this journey is:

What is the market like? What are the good/ bad neighborhoods? Been reading some previous threads and noticed that East Ogden seems to be a safe bet. 

What questions/ ground rules should I ask a property manager? 

Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Lloyd
