Hi,

I am a new investor here in Utah. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good CPA in Davis or Salt Lake County who has experience doing taxes for real estate investors.

Thanks,

John

Thanks to all for your insight and advice!

Hi,

Does it make sense to try being a part time real estate agent in order to learn about real estate investing? I have a full time non-real estate job that I intend to keep for quite a while. I've been planning on becoming a part time real estate agent to learn about investing. I don't intend to be a full time real estate agent, or even expect to sell many houses. I would love to hear from others who have tried this. Did you find it useful to be a part time real estate agent before you began investing? Or was it a poor use of time and energy? Would it be better to spend time going to RE investing clubs and meeting other investors? I heard David Greene say that being a part time agent was not a good idea, so I wanted to see what you all think.

Thanks,

John

Hi all,

I'm hoping to purchase a duplex in the Salt Lake Valley in the next 12 months. Could anyone give me advice for how to estimate rents? I do look at Rentler and Zillow, but I'm not sure how accurate they are. Does anyone know of a better source?

Thanks,

John
