I’m based in Utah and plan to invest in long-term rentals in UT, OK, and/or TX.

My spouse went to school at UT and the rental there is a hold over from graduate school.  

I am a first-time investor, I'm looking to buy a duplex in a smaller town in Utah, the town's population is around 8.2k.

I am pretty active in the STR space in northen Utah.

Utah for example is a non-disclosure state and the county records in 90% of the state are about as old as the time of Noah.

I don't know the law or eviction procedures in Saint George, Utah.

Go search the topic "Lifestyle Asset University" here on Bigger Pockets and you will see a longer thread with a lot of opinions (most are not members) but still worth a read as there are a half a dozen paid members from our group who have commented on that thread.We were formerly called Lifestyle Asset University, but I didn't realize that you couldn't use the word University in your company name here in Utah so we changed our name to Vodyssey. 

Florida homesteads have no cap on the asset protection (I don't know Utah's laws), so for folks like surgeons, I would set them up with an equity line rather than a first mortgage.

I’m based out of Lehi, Utah, and have always been fascinated by the potential of real estate to create opportunities and build wealth.After spending time learning about the industry and what it takes to succeed, I’m ready to dive in and start making deals happen!

Never been to Texas so would have to visit there and Utah seems pretty expensive compared to the other 3.
