Cedar City, UT Looking For a Start

Robert Dickinson
Posted Sep 27 2018, 08:50

Hello every one,

As my title states, I'm looking to get a start in the market. I have a friend/business partner with the same ideals as me, and we wish to take it further. 

I have posted in other forums, and have been redirected here. We are looking to flip, gain rentals, do rehab work. I understand it takes quite a bit to get started in this market, and we wish to play it extremely safe in order to mitigate any large losses up front. In order to do so I think our best bet would be to network with current real estate investors, and offer our services to them and try to learn the trade. 

We have the technical know-how, and experience to renovate and repair. My friend is currently a plumber and has the ability to do anything from create custom cabinets to building a deck from scratch, and everything in between. As for myself, I am currently an engineer, with a little less experience in home repair, but have done my fair share. My wife and I's first home was a short sell that we had to just about gut and rehab. 

Would anyone be able to point us in the right direction on where to look in order find investors with the cash that would be willing to guide us, and are in need of such services? 

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

I am in Cedar.  I would be happy to help where I can.  I'm not a professional yet, but I have started down that path.

It seems like there could be a market for such a thing. I know the forum doesn't allow searching for mentors or promoting services. Where would I go to find out more information to possibly get started? 

We would ideally like to work nights/weekends until we had enough funds to support doing this full time.

I have not been able to go the last few months bc of travel -- i think they meet over lunch, it used to be in the evening.

You could contact property managers in the area and offer services thru them.
