I was wondering if any of the Salt Lake City Utah members have a good contact for carpet?

@Ron Smith Not trying to rub salt in the wound here Ron but, there's lot's of lessons to be learned here.Screen your tenants well. 

Kilz oil-based primer sprayed throughout and cleaning helps, but the odor still lingers for at least a year.  

I am looking to buy my first deal in the Provo area, but the market is so hot right now! I worry that the demand may slow and the market will level off or potentially crash. My Utah Valley people what do you suggest? ...

@Ricky StaffordCould be minor--repair the walls, spray paint the house, slap down some new floor covering and repair the siding and it might be good to go if the plumbing and electrical are working.  

I would recommend Salt Lake City -- you can find some pretty spiffy rent rates/price ratios and the lifestyle benefits if you ever end up living in it would be pretty attractive :) Oh, and the other thing . . . appreciation is strong in Utah, and several of the SLC submarkets that have the most favorable rent/price ratio are perhaps the most primed for outsized appreciation in the next 1-5 years.   

I’m exploring getting into the business myself in the Salt Lake City area.

If you completely screw up and you end up with water spraying everywhere you can always hire a plumber.

It's also been two years since I read the original and we all know how reliable memory is..Like any book, take everything with a grain of salt & nothing as gospel, and you will garner plenty of value from it!

It is a much higher price point but it is a big equity play for us since we know a lot of tech jobs are moving to Lehi as well.I am honestly not very bullish on Salt lake at the moment.
