Texas vs Arizona vs Utah

[Josh Lear]

Hello everyone!

My name is Josh. My girlfriend/business partner and I are moving from San Diego, CA to a state that is more conducive to owning rental properties. We do not currently own any properties and are hoping to buy our first few rentals ASAP. Currently we are deciding between 4 areas:

1. Dallas-Fort Worth

2. Houston

3. Phoenix

4. Salt Lake City

What area do you think would be the best for rental property newbies, and why?

Thank you for your help... we've really been racking our brain on this one.
