Excellent place for low income tenants--and they let me know as much. 

I am just getting into Real Estate and I am currently in the "knowledge" state: reading books, listening to podcasts/videos etc. 

Video every incident like this.

Starting off, I would look at the bigger pockets youtube channel and check the video playlists for BRRR and the playlist for flipping. 

Brandon recently made a short YouTube video about what should someone do with 150k I think and it was very helpful but it's hard to find much content that is giving solid genuine advice without a sales pitch. 

I’d add the gurus you speak of are excellent at self promotion much like other highly successful people in different venues. 

From videos I have watched, I get the basis of it but what first steps would I need to take as far as the laws here in Utah?

If you get good video and or time stamped pics of the properties that helps.

To give you an example, we walked every 5th unit at an 800 unit property, but only took notes on paper and used excel to track and estimate costs.

So not sure worth prospecting the ones that get 1 case every year or two or three.....as some of those won't be sellers....maybe husband/wife survivors that stay in the house, kids move in, they already have a realtor, or some other excuse.You might get the 2020 list and run that for your county or local probate court and see if you can put that in Excel and shift and sort by attorney to see the ones who really are active and handling cases.
