Hi, I'm looking for a real estate agent who specializes in helping investors in Utah. We are looking to buy some properties in or around St George/ Southern Utah. Thanks!

No @Michael Baum, I've been devouring podcasts. I'll look for the forum posts, thanks! Thanks for the heads-up @Ryan Moyer

Hi! I've been a member of BiggerPockets, devouring the info, and I think I'm finally ready to get started. I want to buy some properties in either Moab or St George to use as vacation rentals. Is there anyone on here that is familiar with these areas? I would love any information and tips you'd be willing to impart. Thanks!
@William Hochstedler thanks, you just answered another question I had about the tourist season at the parks. I wondered if it would be hard with the on season period being so short. I guess it isn't like Disneyland where people are always there. What do you think about Park City? Or is it already too saturated?
@William
@William Hochstedler My husband has friends around our area that aren't having much luck with their single family rentals and are selling. He was all for it, but not so much now. We like to travel and thought that we could buy a small motel around some of the National Parks we have here in Utah and do alright. I figured it was probably out of our league right now, but I had to look into it just in case there was some hope
Thanks so much for the advice! It sounds like I will be in over my head if I start with a hotel. I've been doing some reading on it, and while it is something I would really like to pursue at some point, I think I'll need to start a little smaller. I'll keep searching for the right real estate niche for us! Thanks again
Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I've been on here! My husband and I have been trying to decide exactly how we want to secure our financial future and real estate just keeps popping up. I did tons of research on single family rentals but my husband is more drawn towards hotels. So I have a few questions, how crazy is it to start out in real estate investing with hotels? Is that completely stupid, should we be working our way up to that? We want to invest in the state we live in (Utah) but we have a few friends that own rentals and the market doesn't seem to be there any more. Are there any must read articles, books, etc that could give us a good taste for what we are in for and what we need to do? I'm going to search the podcasts but I wanted to ask in the forums also. Thanks!

@Nathaniel N. I am also looking at acquiring some rentals in Utah, is the market still strong for rentals or did I miss that boat?

Hi Blake, welcome to BP! I am also in Davis County. It sounds like you are way ahead of me in the real estate world, so I probably can't offer much advice. Although, if you haven't checked out the podcasts, you definitely should!
