-While rent would be more expensive month by month, the idea of being able to take my equity out of my home and also being able to reduce annual repair costs, property taxes, etc. does seem appealing to me. 

Best of luck and don't hesitate to ask if you need anything!

Far too many get stuck in the "paralysis by analysis" stage, thinking they just don't know enough to get started.

Although, rents are starting to plateau all over Utah, if not come down, so just be cautious of that while running numbers.

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I don't like out of State investing. 

While I don't personally cover the Scranton area, my team and I work extensively with investors in the Philly suburbs, and I’m always up for a great real estate conversation.

@David RutledgeGreat move holding onto that 3% rate while leveraging your equity for another deal!

While I currently have 25% equity in the home. 

I want to get control of the properties, remodel and furnish, while protecting this investment.
