The meetups are casual and conversational, and attendees range for new and curious to seasoned and advanced.

Highland could be a good option as well, but it is more difficult to find a lot of good options in that price range, as well as having a slightly smaller renter pool than most of Lehi would have.

But will it be a whole lot easier with interest rates in the 5% range though?  

Your experience could range from average to horrifying. 

It shows the properties in this neighborhood range from 22K-70K, which would make this property 17% above the high end of the market.The projected renal income also seems to be a bit high, but if the property really is at the top end of the market (like the pricing would suggest) this might be accurate.If you assume the above rental estimate is accurate that would take this property from being above the 1% rule to below.Overall I get that on a listing you would want to be aggressive, but the price seems very aggressive. 

Google searches can only take me so far I think.I've actually got pre-approved first to know what range of home prices I am qualified for.

Ultimately I'm looking for a cohort of people with a wide range of experience in real estate. 

@Anthony Vander Meer$400 off is a lot in that price range.

I have no W-2 income and have been advised to consider DSCR no-ratio loans, but current rates are in the low 9% range, which seems high.

Smaller manufacturers and CR support contractors are stinging.
