If not, they should be encouraged to do so.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

I don't encourage it. 

Utah has a large Mormon population which favors larger families and family focus which frequently encourages those that move away from the state to eventually return.

I would encourage you to meet with investors, agents and brokers in your area to pick their brain. 

Quick math indicates an offer price of $540k is about $100k higher than you should be paying, but please understand all I have to work with is a rent roll.Everything makes sense at the right price, so I'd encourage you to look deeper into this deal to see if A.) the price can be negotiated down and B.) there aren't any major grenades at the onset of purchase.Feel free to send me more detail and I'll happily provide any help I can.

Thank you for the encouragement!
