Home Hacking in Utah

[Lukas J Ridd]

What is up Utah BP RE family? I am just getting started out of college here in Utah and have a job working for a home developer. My wife and I decided a home hack is probably our best option for where we are at in life. We were hoping to do it anywhere from American Fork to Murray. I noticed that to find a duplex or triplex is pretty tough, especially in that area. 

So here are my questions:

Does anyone have a good investment agent that can help me find a solid deal by mid-summer? How would I find these niche agents?

Any considerations for cash flow when looking at duplexes? 

What has been the best value add in rehab if I decide to put in a bit of sweat equity?

How much is too much when looking at a property like this? I was hoping to be in the 200-350k range but Utah seems to blow that idea away.

Thanks,guys!
