New Member in Provo Utah

[Parker Jackson]

Hello everyone! My name is Parker Jackson and I’m a relatively new member here on Bigger Pockets. Although I’ve been on BP for several months, I haven’t taken the time to introduce myself. Recently I decided that it was time to start asking questions and making connections.

I've been doing a lot of research over the course of the past 6 months and recently went Pro in order to gain unlimited access to BP calculators and past webinars. My wife and I are excited to enter the world of real estate investing and we can't wait to get started. I am still a student in the Provo/Orem area and we are looking to try to house hack while I am still in school. We don't have a ton of capital available and are looking to get an FHA loan on a property when we find one that makes sense for us.

That being said, we haven’t been able to find anything that would come even remotely close to cash flowing in Utah county (especially around Orem and Provo). I know that the market is pretty hot right now, but I’m not sure what we should do. Does anyone have any advice for finding good deals in a crazy market? Should we wait for the market to to go down before we invest?

I’d love to hear your feedback! Thanks a lot!
