Salt Lake CityWhat area do you think would be the best for rental property newbies, and why?

My father and I are visiting my brother in the Salt Lake/Park City area.

i recall some radio talk show host (so i will take it with a grain of salt) saying that years ago, during clinton era, the feds loosened the lending rules and asked banks (sub prime) to lend out more money.

i can tell by the email they sent they were just "testing the waters" and looky loos. i did send a quick note saying that this type of property i would only be able to offer around 80-90k if the property was a 2/1 and in good shape. since i know they owe more than that its in their court as to whether they want to wait more or not. 70% of 130k made it a 90k price. 130k would be the max i would guess it would sell for though. i doubt anything will come of it but i will take both ideas with a grain of salt!

I am relocating to the Salt Lake area and am interested in REI.

(Ohio has a desciption of what they want on the form area courts interpet it in different ways One of the tricks that have seen is called salting a building.

My name is Josh and I am an Investment Specialist with Prudential here in Salt Lake City.

In residential down here I guarantee you that anyone worth his salt can keep everything he owns EXEMPT from you attaching it.Better cap rates, better cash flow, longer term tenants...

Now, this is secondhand information, so take it with a grain of salt.  

I’ve been researching lots of states (Texas, Nevada, Mass, Connecticut) and cities (Phoenix, Atlanta, Salt Lake City) but I feel so overwhelmed with the choices!
