looking for advice on the experts out there:) if some of you have time to respond I thank you in advance I would like a PRO vs con stand point on which would you feel to be a safer first rental investment property sin...

We have 11 income properties, mostly in the Salt Lake area, and do a couple flips a year.

But take all such projections with a grain of salt.

These are to be taken with a grain of salt as they have not closed yet - but it can give you a fairly good idea if you are in the right range. 

I have worked for a couple different management companies and have been a tenant for a number of years, and to be completely honest I have been appalled by the lack of professionalism and overall effort I've seen on the part of several very prominent PMs here in the Salt Lake Valley. 

Take everything an agent says with a grain of salt. 

No attorney worth his salt is going to be fooled by your 'hidden' ownership of a lien on your property, and say your judgement proof. 

@Sasha Josephs- I moved from Salt Lake to start investing out here.

Have any of you invested in the Boise or Salt Lake markets yet?  

I lived in Utah for some time and have ~5 years of financial analysis experience (investment banking and multi-family modeling), however my goal is to more closely familiarize myself with the Salt Lake market and surrounding pockets.
