Interested in SFH/MFH Renting. St George, Utah

[Jordan Egbert]

I'm 23 going to school at Dixie State for business administration. Originally from Twin Falls, Idaho. I'm jumping the gun on this but I figured it might be good to get some insight as I study. Currently I own 0 properties. I'm going through the BP guides and trying to learn before I make mistakes. I have been thinking about investing for a few years now but as of now I'm 100% into this. I have experience in construction and landscaping. I've roofed houses, drywalled, framed and almost everything else. I went through classes in high school and worked the summers. I have 3 years of drafting/architectural design classes. Last year, I worked cutting down and trimming trees along with other landscape jobs. Electric and plumbing is where I myself fall short. I do have a roommate that is an electrician so there's that. I think a few hours on YouTube will help with plumbing. I grew up around architects and builders so I do have some networking already. My focus right now is to get a place where I can live and rent out the other rooms so I don't pay rent. Flipping strikes my fancy, I have skills for it. With school, I'm more into passive income for the time being. I would like to start in my area but my extended family is massive and willing to help me out with management. In the future I would like to spread out and buy in their areas. Most bigger cities in Idaho, all over Utah, Colorado Springs and Las Vegas area.

@Jordan Egbert welcome. My advise would be to get a lot more focused. Narrow down what you want to do and where you want to do it. Once you can do that, then you can have success. While having contacts in all of the West is great, without knowing an area it makes it challenging for newbies to get a good deal.
