@Lauren Hogan

I started investing here because I'm from the area; but I have to say that I am so lucky to have been born and raised in such a place. It is indeed a beautiful place with world class winter sports activities as well as national parks in just about every direction. As noted by others; economy, infrastructure, and fiscal stability are strong. We have good universities, safe neighborhoods, nice people. Others have suggested that affordability is a problem, but I will continue investing here nonetheless. My only complaint about living in the Salt Lake Valley is the inversion. 

Post: I pondering what to do next; want to make a good investment

Hi All!

I'm needing a little help deciding what to do next. It looks like this site can give me some guidance. I am currently living in West Valley City. I own a single family home that I purchased with my brother a few years ago. To this point it has been a great success as a buy and hold. I want to continue making smart real estate moves as sort of a part time investment craving on the side; I am also working full-time. I am a social worker and I can't expect to be making a six figure salary any time soon. With that being said I don't have a ton of cash to put down on a new properties. As we all know the market in this area is very hot. I am open to a lot, I just want to make a good investment. I would like a multifamily property but don't know that I would have enough to put down for a duplex, or if I could even find a decent property that didn't fly off the market before I got to it. I'm also open to doing what I did previously, which was buying a house, live in and flip it a little bit, and then hold and rent. The strength that my brother and I have is that we are willing to put in the work ourselves to build equity in the property. What do you all think about finding something in the Salt Lake Valley area? I also find Provo to be very attractive since prices are so low, the population is increasing, and development seems to be on the up. Would love to hear what you all have to say. 

Thanks, 

Justin
