I started crunching some numbers.I decided to do some research – I spoke to property managers and real estate agents in the area.

For example, if you set up a Wyoming LLC to hold real estate in Oregon and properly respect these boundaries, the LLC should shield you from a lawsuit brought by a tenant, such as a claim stemming from an injury on the property.

My first bet of advise to you is to read Gary Keller's The Millionaire Real Estate Investor.

I'm on the hunt for real estate meetups to expand my experience and network, but I must not be looking in the right places.

What is there not to believe about real estate cash flowing?

Utah County is 8 years on average younger than Salt Lake County, Demographics are more important than any other factor in real estate investing.2.

I am seeking an investment minded real estate agent to work with me on determining (with substantiated estimates that I can share with my parents) the most advantageous path forward, which I believe would be 1) rehab and rent, 2) rehab and sell, or 3) sell “as is”.

I am seeking an early retirement and it looks like real estate is the way. 

You may want to network with other investors locally through your real estate investment club.

Hi Angela,Your tech background can help you evaluate the deals but I fear that you don't have a comprehensive plan of what you want to do with investment real estate.
