Thanks Josh.  That was just what I was looking for. 

I am a newbe to BP so hopefully this post is valid in this area.

I belong to a time share in Park City Utah and I have a week there from 12/20 to 12/27 that I want to rent out.  Its normally a great time for skiing. 

So my post is not about normal real estate things.  Please contact me if you are interested or know anyone who might be interested.  Also, please let me know if this is not a valid post for BP.

Stop the presses.  I found it.  Sorry to bother you. 

So I'm trying to find a link to BP support. I'm obviously not looking in the correct place because I can't find it.  Can you give me an idea where to find the help button?

Thanks

Thanks for the information.  

How about sending a request/email to biggerpockets.  Do you know a way to do that?

I'm going to send them a request one way or the other.  I'm going to connect with you so I can give you feedback whenever I get it.  

I'm a newbee to BP so I'm just learning my way around.  Again, thanks for trying to help me.

I just purchased my membership to biggerpockets and I'd like to get some sort of receipt from biggerpockets to serve as documentation for my tax deduction.  

I didn't get a receipt and I can't find a way to send a help email to biggerpockets.  

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip about checking at rentometer.doc.  Now that you mention it, I have looked at that site several years ago but I had forgotten about it.  I'll go check it out again.

BP is great.  Today is my first day using it and I've already got 2 great ideas from it.

Brian,

Thanks for the advice and I'd love you to look me up when you are in St. George the next time.  We could talk some real estate stuff, visit some properties and perhaps you could write off part of your trip as a business expense.  (Check with your accountant - I am not one).  I am talking with some agents now and I will ask them if they have any rental properties.  As an update, I am not completely new to the rental environment.  We have 2 rentals in Salt Lake but I didn't go out to seek them out and buy them.  Circumstances forced us into the rental business.  It has worked out but it would have been a lot better if I'd had some education first. 

My name is Craig.  I just joined biggerpockets and I'm really impressed by what I have seen thus far.  I have a situation that maybe someone can provide some advice on how to approach.  We bought a house in St. George 5 years ago and moved my wife here for her health.  I continued to work in Salt Lake City and commute to see her for the next 4 years. I am now retired and I'm here full time.  I want to buy at least one rental property with the plan to hold on to it.  However, I don't know the areas of the city.  So I don't know what properties are worth in the various neighborhoods or what properties will rent for.  How can I find out this type of information?  I'm in the process of selecting a real estate agent that hopefully will help.  However, I'd like to do my own independent research to learn more about the area.  I just don't know where to start.  Any help would be appreciated.
