I'd recommend contacting the GIS specialist for the local government. All of that data is kept by someone somewhere in the government or can be compiled, especially if there is a GIS specialist. You can also "join" your data table and the data table from the government and get the info you need.

My mind was recently blown from learning about note investing.  I'm in the SLC area, if anyone invests in notes I want to connect with you!

I recently started texting FSBO listings and for rent listings and have received responses from those interested in selling. As I’m learning though, it seems like a better way to filter cold leads from warm leads. It may be best to call those people that respond to your inquiry rather than continue everything in text.

Im looking at picking up some rentals out of state (Tennessee or Indiana). I have about $20k that’s sitting in mutual funds. However, I’m an inexperienced landlord; I own 1 rental locally. I’m looking out of state because it’s more affordable. Since I’m inexperienced at being a landlord, is investing in rentals out of state a bad idea?

I'm in need of some help evaluating a potential wholesale deal I've come across.  Looking at a .34 acre property with a single family residence that is trashed adjacent to major freeway in Utah County.  The property was originally zoned for residential but has since been rezoned to Industrial. The seller originally wanted $300k but is considering $200k.  I haven't the foggiest on how to figure out what the value of the land is from an industrial us approach, if $200k is too much/just right, etc.  I'm thinking it best to put it under contract for $200k and get it appraised.  Looking for some input from experienced investors that have dealt with industrial or commercial land.  Thanks!

Thank you for your advice!

Hey fellow Investors!  I recently started a door knocking campaign in my city and have targeted tax delinquent properties.  I studied GIS in college and leveraged that to make maps of those tax delinquent properties.  I've tried to target areas where there are multiple tax delinquent homes in the same area.  As I make my way from one tax delinquent property to the next I'll knock on the doors in-etween.  However I seem to contact more owners that aren't behind on their taxes than owners that are.  I am a licensed realtor so maybe this is a good strategy anyway?  I'm really going after the wholesale deals.  

Would it be better for me to just look for run down homes and only contact tax delinquent properties and skip the others? Just trying to work efficiently.

Hello fellow BiggerPocket-ers, I'm hoping to get some feedback from people that understand a seller's market (Salt Lake area).

I am a novice to investing, but hoping to make a strong start. My goal is to acquire rental properties over time.

Currently, I am under contract for a home (with mother in law basement) listed at $250k.  It has 3 bed/1 bath up and 2 bed/1 bath down in overall good condition (cosmetic issues, home built 1959).  I am planning on moving in upstairs and renting downstairs (local rents are between $900-$1000/month for similar units).  After a year, I want to rent out both levels and acquire yet another property and repeat the process.  

This area (Salt Lake County/Utah County) is pretty hot right now, and speculation persists as to the timing of the next market correction.  Would you recommend going for it and getting into a home regardless of market trends, or being patient and waiting for a better moment to buy a home?

Thank you in advance for your advice.
