The baseball season lasts 6-7 months, and I am given free housing during this time, wherever I am currently assigned to play.

I know there’s a lot to learn, and I’m eager to absorb as much knowledge as possible.I’d love to connect with others in the Lehi/Utah County area (or beyond!)

Never thought about it but that is clearly a key piece of knowledge that can come in handy whenever needed.

To me at my current knowledge level, this deal only works if taking over the loan - to limit the out of pocket money to acquire the property since the outside reno and new septic would take up the bulk of rehab costs. 

Once you start to get people in there to look at project to project, that will give you a baseline then you'll start to gain more knowledge on where you need to be on the pricing/estimates etc.

Quote from @Jeff Sanders: Personally coming from an agent/investor in CA, I always get a quote from a broker of mine and make sure I am knowledgeable with the fees/costs.

I am considering getting into this space (looking at some courses), but worried that its too late, and that deep local market knowledge/understanding of buyers/connection with developers etc is required to make this work, which only incumbent/long term investors will have and would be hard for a new entrant starting from scratch to catch-up...is my hypothesis valid in your opinion ?

Looking for further knowledge and excited to be on the forum!

Thus, most do not include an assignment of rents.

They sound very knowledgeable and I am interested in jumping into the customized course they offer.
