Learning the market

[Nick Vondrachek]

Hey everyone,

I just moved to the Salt Lake City area for work and am looking to buy my first rental property in the next 6-12 months, preferably a single family or duplex house hack strategy w/ low money down and build a successful real estate business from there. In the meantime, I want to learn as much as I possibly can about the market, the hot neighborhoods, network with successful investors in the area, and figure out how things work around here. I am a student of the business and am willing to offer my time in the evenings and weekends helping other experienced investors in the area analyze deals, drive for dollars, marketing, repairs, sales (I work in B2B software sales), pretty much do anything necessary that I can provide you of value. I am hoping to establish solid working relationships with investors in the area and break into this business effectively. 

Where are the best places to network with other like minded investors in the area? REIA groups?

If anyone is interested please feel free to reach out to me.

@Nick Vondrachek, welcome to SLC and real estate investing! There are a ton of places to network with other investors here in the valley. You have the Utah REIA which is meeting next Tuesday night; SLREIA which meets the second Wednesday of the month; Utah Valley REIA (not sure when they meet) and all of them have monthly luncheons as well. I am part of a BP Meetup that we do the first Thursday of the month and a Wholesale Meetup that meets the second Thursday of the month. I am happy to chat with you in terms of your investing goals and give you some direction in terms of how to get started. If you are interested PM me and we can chat in more detail. Good luck!
