I am a new student to the art of real estate investing and have only been living in Utah for 11 months, so I still have a lot to learn about our market.Thanks in advance!!

For example, an investor might purchase a fixer-upper in a "hot" neighborhood, substantially renovate it, then offer it at a price that reflects its new state-of-the-art appearance and amenities.

jobs i've held in life:high school-telemarketer, deli worker, toy storecollege-teacher, toy store manager, worked on campus, director of art gallerypost college-financial consultant, bankerfun fun fun!

It is more of an intellectual exercise and less of a art exercise6.

I went to a liberal arts university in Douglas County and lived there for many years so it's safe to say I have a passion for helping those that need a hand up.

Aaron it's not really being scared as a buyer it is knowing when someone is new to the space and needs help.If someone is a white belt in a martial arts style (new buyer) going up against blackbelts (experienced seller and listing brokers) to spar wouldn't they want a black belt by their side to help guide them and offer helpful tips so they do not get knocked out and have their clock cleaned?

@Robert Collins Be careful of using owner occupied loans when all involved art not living there, It might be considered mortgage fraud.

Largely, that's because we tell anyone with a brain they need to go to college - even if they end up $100K in debt for a liberal arts degree (philosophy/polisci for me....employers were beating down my door, man!)

Of course Art..... we look at everything.... not just the money... who is the buyer? 

The art is in finding the deals and then putting in systems to run them with minimal hands on effort.
