For Ogden Attorneys I would recommend Kim Stevens from Larreau & Lythgoe www.utahslawfirm.com She lives in the Valley and has a strong RE Background.

@Phillip Troutman I have done several transactions in Brownsville (and surrounding "valley" towns) and I might answer this with a very generic response - if you have a network of property managers, realtors, etc. to help you be successful in a specific area then that is more important than the actual area.  

Hello, I just purchased my second property in San tan valley.

Our primary areas of interest are Bristol/Northeast Philadelphia, Bucks County, and the Lehigh Valley.

I currently own one rental in mission valley and am constantly searching for more investment opportunities.

I don't invest as heavily in what we call the "Lower Rio Grande Valley" (Brownsville/Harlingen/South Padre Island) as I do in the "Upper Rio Grande Valley" (McAllen/Edinburg/Mission/surrounding cities). 

@Jennifer Jimenez hi Jennifer are you still in the valley?

I like the sample I got from floor and decor which was the mountain valley waterproof laminate 12mm but friends are suggesting using something like cashmere oak ridged core lvp with cork backing which is 6.5mm with a 22mm wear, again I have no experience with either so your opinion is appreciated.
