This is different from the Salt Lake market where I started.  

I also used to invest in Salt Lake City UT it is too expensive now for me to buy (and hold) in.

In my area is very common SFR tenants pay for utilities, therefore utilities are not included in my property leases (electrical, gas,  water, sewer, garbage, salt for water softener, etc). 

There seem to be more over in Gainesville.I've only kept a casual eye on multi-family so take it with a grain of salt.

My phone has rang twice while typing this, concerned people considering selling their home to avoid the foreclosure that they see coming.So to the new investor, please take this with a grain of salt and a jigger of Patrone' tread lightly and understand your market.

LOL.. one thing I don't like though is the SALT  who thought that one up !!!    

There are some things realtors can't give opinions on due to anti housing discrimination laws, but any agent worth their salt should be able to provide you with rental comps from the MLS

Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City are all pretty hot markets, but do your own due diligence. 

There's salt there still (if it gets low let me know)and if that shovel breaks or sucks let me know!

Salt Lake City made a HUGE push to house the homeless.... and only rapidly attracted many more homeless.
