Julien, Stay diligent.  

We were lucky enough to have close friends who needed a place to stay for the first year or so.

Stay engaged!

I have a cousin who lives in Lincoln Park...and I am becoming more and more interested in creative financing options such as the service you provide for my first investment (initially thought I'd definitely go conventional with strong credit score and ample savings).Please connect and stay in touch!

LTB stands with the tenant because the lawn/snow clause is void, and the discounted rent stays because you can't just jack up their rent because you found out your void clause is void.

It sounds crazy but when I'm up there calling numbers and my pit man is in your face and your ear and the other guy is going for it you need to remember what you came to pay and stay with that.Don't try to game it.

In my opinion that is the only way to go, VRBO is great but it's pretty hands on and you will get way more seasonal people wanting to stay in Park City than you will in Salt Lake.  

Stay engaged!

Read books on investing in real estate, listen to the podcasts, attend webinars and stay active on the forums while connecting with other investors in your area and pick a niche.
