Depending what your looking for you can also look in the surrounding cities(South Ogden, Riverdale, Washington Terrace, Roy, North Ogden etc) are great as well.In the Ogden area you have Weber State University, Hill Air Force Base, and a lot of jobs which keeps rental prices high and in demand.I’m happy to share what I know and discuss any questions concerns you may have!

What do you think about investing in North Carolina?

I am planning to buy my first investment property which is a brand new town home 2 miles south of James river in Manchester, VA city ( exactly 3 miles from Virginia State Capital ).I started listening to the podcast of BiggerPockets on youtube & started taking small steps towards being financially independent.Property price is 380K and i am planning to put down 20% down. 

I will sell my North Carolina home when I move next, no more long distance rentals for me!

That said, long-term rents remain solid across the state due to restrictive rural/agricultural zoning, a substantial lack of new housing supply, and the added cost of transporting building materials 2,500 miles from the mainland.Only other thing I will say is that if your plan is to do long-term rentals, expect a lot of tenant churn.

@Alex Uman So i have a couple properties im looking at in north philly but im open to all over Philadelphia tbh.

@Tiffany WatkinsI think with limited construction/remodeling experience it’s too much to take on at once, especially with hard money as you will really be on the clock.I don’t know your market nor the property, but it sounds right to do all that with construction materials shooting up in price with covid19.I understand the need/desire to do a deal to learn, but learn on the “correct” deal.

There is a 14" pipeline that delivers crude oil to a refinery about 3 miles East of my house. 

Super small time North Carolina landlord here. 

Again, appraised value is market driven based on comparable sales within 1 to 3 miles and in the last 6 months.
