Signs of slowing due to increased inventory, but still double digit growth/appreciation continued for remainder of year.You will get good cashflow in midwest, but limited appreciation.I'm vested in southern California and Las Vegas.

In Ogden in particular, condition plays a large factor and it's difficult to get a feel for these properties unless you can see them physically.Also, there's a local Real Estate Investors Association that's a great way to network offline (nureia.org) (Disclosure: I'm on the board).Good luck and let us know if we can help!

I am 22 years old and just started working full time but my long term goal is to be financially free.For the short term I will continue to listen and read more books.

That's how I got started and continue to house hack properties before eventually making them full on rentals.

And, I'm personally on the hook for any loan defaults.While we continue to aggressively drop the price and hold open houses, I've called number of cash-for-homes companies but have been told it's outside their typical purchase criteria.

However, due to the appreciation play, we can see this increasing 3.5-4% over that time, including maybe 5-7% each of the first 3 years.

I was asked to transfer in my company to Columbia and continue to work full time managing on our evening shift.

Having read Kyosaki from an early age, and playing Cashflow, we decided to buy our first business last year. 

Since i plan on continuing to grow both my trading account and my real estate portfolio, aligning now with an accountant that can maximize my potential with appropriate tax shelter engineering is almost as important as my investments themselves. 

Seems like your experience as a title agent will be a huge benefit as you continue on this journey - and you'll be a great addition to the forums with that expertise!
