Are you restricted to certain states? Are these available in Utah?

KSL.com (it is driven by rentler.com) is the place to post for rent locally. Get on check what similar properties are renting for and you can easily set up an account and list your property. It also saves all your information so you can make the add inactive and when you need to rent it again you can reactivate the add. Hope this helps.

Brian - Everyone has access to the MLS. You just need to register and then you can search for all "active" listings on the Wasatch Front MLS.

Go to www.utahrealestate.com  - click on "sign up" in the top right corner.

You can also have a realtor set up automatic hot sheets, where you will be emailed any new property meeting specific search criteria on a weekly, daily or even hourly basis. 

Let me know if you need help or want to set up a hot sheet. I would be happy to do that for you.

Welcome Brian. 

I encourage to also get involved at the local level by attending some REIA meetings if you haven't already. There are several close to chose from.

Multi Family properties are selling at a premium right now in the SL area, however, there are deals to be found. 

Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Connor welcome to BP. There are a lot of buyers out there to wholesale to if you can find good deals. Lead generation is probably where you should focus. Add me to your buyers list if you find anything.  [email protected] 435-512-7231. Good luck.

@Jake Davies 

Kudo's for diving in at an early age and getting your feet wet. Lots of good advice and tips on this site and in this thread so far. 

I'm going to throw out some additional considerations.

Your advantage right now is your age and the ability to finance (at historic low rates) a 4 plex as a personal residence, with minimal amount down and use the income from the other 3 units to help qualify for the loan. 

Decide what area you want to live in, then find the best deal you can in that area that fits your overall housing budget. A property that doesn't make sense for a traditional investor right now could make a lot of sense for you because of the advantages I mentioned earlier. You need to evaluate the property differently than I would right now. 

Are you comfortable living there now and is it a property that you want to own 20-30 years from now. 

I like the approach going direct to the owners approach you are taking.

Good luck!
