I recently posted about moving to Utah right after high school for real estate. I was wondering what other places people would recommend to look into. I’m looking for a growing state, affordable living costs, and lots of opportunities as a real estate agent. If you have any books to recommend let me know I have been going through 3 a week and want as many books as possible. Have a great day!

consider a place where you might have some friends / contacts as often this is the first cricle of influence that helps get a career started ......other than that - I would recommend somewhere close to militray bases as these areas tend to have affordable properties and more turnover than other locations ...if you do this - find a lender thats wells versed on all VA loan programs ...good luck

Hey Roman,
I operate in the Greater Oklahoma City Metro Area, and it matches a lot of what you describe. The Military market is strong here with Tinker Air Force Base, and the several universities across the metro make great opportunities to get into the student housing market. Although the market has been going up pretty significantly (just like everywhere else), the value compared to rental rates is still a pretty good deal.
For books I highly recommend anything from Brandon Turner, and J Scott, as well as your standard investing and agent books; Think and Grow Rich, Rich Dad Poor Day; 4 hour work week (for an inside look on the concept of build systems), and The Millionaire Real Estate Investor.

Look into Oklahoma! Specifically the areas I've listed below:
- Oklahoma City, Norman, Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Moore, Del City, Guthrie
I'm a real estate investment specialist in the Oklahoma City and Tulsa markets and I work with a lot of investors like yourself to help connect them to investment properties. My team is moving 35 properties/month across Oklahoma. I'd love to connect and share some info on the market. Cost of living is lower than most places, with low property taxes. We have a great rental market, the state is extremely landlord friendly, and the price points make much more sense than some of the other markets you're looking into.
For books I recommend:
- Atomic Habits
- Rich Dad, Poor Dad
- Extreme Ownership
