The key is to take what people say with a grain of salt.

Just wanted to say howdy to the gang. I've been in the RE game for 14 years, with 12 years as the owner of Patriot Financial LLC. We specialize in Commercial, Residential and Hard Money loans. We just recently got ...

I'm in Salt Lake area.

If your in Salt Lake you should look for the Flip Men!!!!

All appliances that got hit with salt water replaced, as in stove hit water heater ect.

.- Zillow values have to be taken with a grain of salt.- Any duplex that is only $30-40k is probably in a horrible area.- Live somewhere you will enjoy, feel safe, and your neighbors won't be horrible quality (i.e. sacrifice a little money and returns to be happy and safe).- If you want to be really slick and know if the property is a good deal, pretend you are renting out both sides and calculate your cap rate and cash-on-cash return.
