I graduated college last May, started a job in January, and am hoping to buy my first multifamily in the next year. 

I recently selected a tenant who worked at a local college, after she passed the background check, in part because her source of income is not correlated with the local economy.This type of analysis should still be completed for investors in large urban areas with diverse employment opportunities for tenants.

I'd like to invite you to attend the next Salt Lake Real Estate Investors Association meeting.

I do not know about other states, but in North Carolina (a Tax Deed State) they have a "10-Day Upbid Period" where anyone can increase the bid by at least 5% even if they did not attend the original auction and then the 10 day clock starts again.

I would do some dinging and browsing on this site and attend your local real-estate clubs and do some networking on local # for maintenance vacancy management fees etc.

Hello BP community,   I attended a Passive Income/Turnkey company seminar and I was impressed in the professionalism and attention to detail. 

You can network with a lot of local investors by attending the local real estate investment clubs.

I am a college student living in north Alabama while I am home for the summer.

My suggestion is to attend REIAs, find an investor, treat them to coffee/lunch, offer to help them out with office work, rehabbing, finding deals, etc.

Is it close to any colleges, etc.?
