I've read that both Boise, ID and Salt Lake City, UT are good areas to invest in.My question is, are there any people here who invest in those areas, and if so, do you use a turn key company or go it on your own?

I hired a landscaper to come cut down a tree in the yard and while they were there, I asked that they pull all the overgrown weeds and spray weed killer.

Now, take that with a grain of salt too as the agent is on commission!

:) I also wanted to add the Realtor said (take this with a grain of salt) that the 1-2 bedroom units would rent for 350 - 500 each.

Hey everyone my name is Blake and I am in the Salt Lake City / Davis County Utah area.

welcome to BP.Check out SLREIA Salt Lake Real Estate Investors Association.

Hey Gents (and ladies if appropriate)... not sure how many of you follow KSL but someone has 2 fourplexes listed in South Salt Lake for $325,000, rent roll somewhere in the $5,500 range.

Vacancy rate seems to vary by the neighborhood, but 10% seems like a reasonably conservative numbers for most neighborhoods that I've looked at.Re: taxes, I would also factor in whether your property taxes might take a significant jump if you're doing major fixes and the property value is reappriased by the county (especially if you're pulling permits).Still learning myself, so take all of the above with a grain of salt and best of luck with your search!

Of course take that with a grain of salt because I'm about as much of a noob as you can get when it comes to REI lol. 

It's a shame you waited until after the floors as you could have sprayed.
