Hi!

I've had my license for over a year and work with a well known national brokerage.  However, I don't feel like they are geared toward investing or helping agents grow through investing and have gotten most of my knowledge on my own. I don't really gain a lot from the brokerage in terms of education or relationships so I'm wondering if I'm wasting money.

I'm just curious about which brokerages better support real estate agents that are focused on investing and investor clients. I'm almost thinking its better to work for a flat fee brokerage.

I appreciate any advice!

Thank you! that was actually on my list but I was worried due to short sale... also, looks like offer under review and date keeps getting moved. Yes I'll be able to pay in cash but I'm not quite ready yet. the goal is to start putting offers in by May 1st -I was curious if people we're finding success in these areas.

Flipping in Davis County, Utah I'm a newbie to rehabbing houses and I'm in the middle of reading the Book on Flipping Houses. I'm trying to narrow my farm area. I'm a realtor so I have access to the MLS but I'm having a hard time spotting any good deals in this market. I'm thinking of Sunset, Clinton and Clearfield. Anyone finding great deals in these areas? Are you just driving and approaching home owners? Thanks in advance!

My husband and I are new to investing as well in the Roy/Ogden area. We have attended a couple of the Utah REIA meetings in Murray which were helpful and provided lots of real advice as well as networking to obtain the funds. I just got my real estate license and my Dad owns an electrical contracting company. We figured it made sense to team up and find deals. I keep hearing that Ogden and the surrounding areas are hard to flip because of higher purchase prices and buyers won't pay for expensive updates.

I've come across a couple great finds in either Central Ogden or West Ogden that make me nervous about trying to flip due to the surrounding homes' deterioration. 

I wasn't aware of the Ogden REIA so I'll definitely be looking into that :)

Please let me know if I can help at all on the Real Estate side or contracting side.  I heard a quote lately that keeps nudging at me, "It's the start that stops you." We're ready to dive in and start investing.

From one newbie to another - Good Luck!
