@Nate McCarthy I think this could be a great opportunity if approached thoughtfully.

We both run our own businesses but we feel that real estate will help make sure we both maintain our life plans of not needed to work as much any more.

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. 

With absolutely no prior experience investing in real estate, I'm getting to the point/age where retirement from corporate America is getting closer and closer, however I still have 2 kids to put through college over the next 2-6 years.

During this journey, I discovered the world of house flipping and real estate investing in the U.S.

I also want to build my network here with other likeminded people who see the power in real estate.

I am a general business major and also currently working on obtaining my real estate license to become an agent.
