Great, there is a lot of guides and resources on managing properties here, and analyzing deals.

I have over a hundred rental units I own and operate in Utah everything from homes and condos to larger multifamily.Salt Lake County has higher property taxes and is basically built out already and Ogden even though you can find good opportunities in the long run it won't be able to compete with South Utah County or Eagle Mountain. 

He’s an investor himself, has a STR property management and has everything dialed in. 

Purchase price: $115,000 Cash invested: $42,000 Sale price: $168,000 Unfortunately, we bought this property as a buy and hold property, and our research led us to believe that this neighborhood was up and coming not in a bad area of Jacksonville.

You are 18, you shouldn't be ready to buy a property yet.

Quote from @Joanne Bragg: I found a great property at an excellent price to flip.

I’d like to discuss it with a realtor, but I’m worried that if I disclose the deal, the realtor could bid against me on the property.

I was wondering what your experience has been, good or bad with buying rental property in close proximity to the firehouse/station?

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.
