Facts are not defined by one's belief.

There are a *LOT* of youth tournaments, car shows, and religious events where people look for "affordable" and convenient accommodations over "views".

It is my belief that you learn more and things are easier when done local. 

@Agustin DionicioThis is a very vague question but I will answer based on my belief and my investment outlook.I believe that everyone is different and that it all comes down to personality and individual responsibilities.Some hypotheticals to illustrate:If I was single and had no responsibilities my risk level is off the charts- I would be willing to go 100% in because if I failed, I only have me to worry about and I know as a single individual I can endure some pretty harsh condition and will be able to work my way out.As a married man, I still have the same personal risk level but now I have to consider my other half in the financial decisions.

Modest Income Homes 18.7% 1.3% Families in this urban segment may be non-traditional; however, their religious faith and family values guide their modest lifestyles.

I’m a beginner real estate investor but have been reading and researching religiously.

I have been saving religiously for the past year without a job just straight up hustling gym weights and other goods to fund my current roughly 30k stock portfolio.

However my belief, is that locals and first time home buyers will just get pushed to areas just outside the Salt Lake Valley such as Utah, Davis and Tooele county.

Not saying it's easy but I have found most tenants are with a false belief of things, when it's clarified, well attitudes change quickly. 

I'm of the belief:(1) paint the unit on the turn, unless the paint is still new-ish and it has been a short time.The unit needs to have a certain "Look" and "Feel" to attract the best renters.(2) Then screen applicants carefully, looking for those who are likely to rent long term vs quickly vacate the unit.(3) The higher the gloss, the easier it is to clean.
