I used stringham. It's a pretty well known school. I did it online and it was easy and simple. You can message me if you have any specific questions.

This question is best to ask your lender that you are pre-approved through. If you are still looking for lenders I know a few in the area as well.

 They were looking on advice on how to make their next investment decision into real estate... So yes.

 I would be lying if I said I wasn't trying to make a sale because at the end of the day, that's how I eat. However telling someone else that I wouldn't have their best interests in mind is the furthest thing from the truth.

I like to give my clients as much INFORMATION as possible so they can make the best decision for THEMSELVES as possible. If it ends in a sale for me, great if not, that's ok too as long as they made the right decision for THEMSELVES.

Telling someone that their best interests aren't held by someone you have never even met before seems like a huge assumption to me.

The fourplex advice I would agree with however. A lot of times newer investors in the Utah market cannot afford to simply go out and buy a duplex even if they would be living in it.

Another option I look for are SFH with an adu or possibility for one. These come usually at a cheaper price point but the owner can still offset their mortgage payments with rentable space.

Jayden I also messaged you. I'm in your area and believe I have some options for you.

Hey Dustin! 

I really focus on trying to get my clients into affordable house hacks in the Davis/Weber county area. I'll PM you too see if that would interest you.

I just bought my second one two weeks ago.

Sometimes if clients aren't actively buying or selling I won't go out of my way to send them deals. Also if I feel they are not actually motivated to act on a deal I send them I would rather not send it to them.

Maybe a better option would be to communicating to your current realtor that you want them to be actively looking for you and sending you on market deals. If they don't know this is an expectation of yours they have no way of fulfilling it.

If you still want to look for another one after that, we have agents in by brokerage all over the country that are investor friendly I'm sure I could help out.

I would first check zoning with the city to see what you can do there. Once you've eliminated what you can't do move forward and see what you would want to do from the given options. 

If you need any help I'd be happy to help in licensed in the state.

I find I work best with clients when they are transparent and communicative. As agents we wind up getting ghosted all the time by clients so being upfront and honest are qualities any agent would want in a client.

We have agents across the nation in my brokerage. Message me if you'd like me to connect you.
