Eva, I'm considering investing in the Heber City area as I work and commute form salt lake where STRs are capped.

I'm mostly looking for a lawyer in Salt Lake to help draft an operations agreement for an LLC .

(if it's more than a couple years old, take what they say with a grain of salt, much of the advice will be simply wrong)Do a bunch of searches on BP for forums, blogs, articles and podcasts on rehabbing and flipping.

There are many ways to secure that foundation education, so do your OWN Due Diligence (take opinions with a grain of salt and research on your own before investing into anything) and choose the platform or product that you are happy with and fits the way you like to learn (i.e. reading, watching, listening or a combination of the 3).Form yourself a Team (Mentor(s), Real Estate Agents, Mortgage Brokers, Contractors, Home Inspectors, Appraisers, Title Companies, Attorneys, CPA/Accountants, etc.) to support and guide you as you learn.By the time you are ready to make the transition, you should be good to go...and if not, no worries..just keep the machine rolling until you are.Again, Thank You for your service to our Country and best of luck to you in your ventures!

@Rosaria PipitoneI’m new so take my comment with that grain of salt.

Local networking is key to success in this biz so I would recommend some of the real estate lunches and meet-ups in the Salt Lake area.

Legally snow removal, maintenance, making sure entryway, stairs, sidewalk are salted and ice-free is landlord's responsibility. 

I'm an active investor in Salt Lake City (I do a few deals each month here) but I'm looking to build my network in the Louisville.
