Hi @Jordan Burke

Welcome to the community.  It's great to see more Utah people.  I am pretty new at this, too.  I have one rental property and I am actively looking for my next acquisition.

I have prepared business plans before but hadn't thought about preparing a business plan for a rental property.  Is that a common practice?

Football? That's that game with the funny shaped ball, right?

Thanks @Lync Jones I look forward to chatting with you too  

I hate when your wood cabinets rust!  Fortunately it only happens in homes where the copper plumbing has been eaten by termites.

I hate hearing that speculators are driving the price up.  I lived in Citrus Heights near the Roseville train yard years ago when they discovered all the buried bombs and home prices in my neighborhood dropped to $60k.  I thought, "gee, somebody could make a lot of money buying some of these" and then I didn't do anything about it.

Thank you for the warm welcome @Cory Calvin, @Mike Gallagher, @Daniel Featherston, @James Wise, and @Peter MacKercher.  I really like what I have learned on BP so far and it is great to connect with others who are walking the same path.

I have been lurking around the forums for a while but have not introduced myself yet.  I am an investor from Salt Lake City, Utah.  In my day job I work as an accountant for a logistics company.  I have done a handful of live-in flips in my adult life, but until the last year or two I wasn't treating real estate as a business.  I just liked making sure I found good deals when I bought a house to live in and got as much as possible for the house when I moved out.

Then last year I got my first rental property.  Now I am looking for more buy-and-holds.  For now I want to focus on small properties in my local area; single family up to fourplexes in Salt Lake County and the southern part of Davis County in Utah.  I want a few years of experience with smaller properties, but within five years I want to move on to larger apartment complexes.

Great introduction @Daniel Featherston 

When you say you want to own at least one commercial building, and have done over $20 Million in real estate transactions within 8 years, do you have more specific short term goals?  What kinds of deals do you want this year?  This week?

Hi Tanner. Welcome to BP. What kind of investing are you interested in?

I went to my first SLREIA lunch last month.  I thought it was worthwhile.  I will be back next month.
