I am in very competitive and high priced market (Denver) and a lot of house hackers don't expect to see any cash flow until after they move out.

I know Utah is a really competitive market,  set your budget and dont get into something that depends on the renters to make the mortgage payment. 

Right now it is very competitive and tough to find deals everywhere and in almost every way. 

We have been in the industry for over 10 years. 

I have a knack for efficiency (once I know the industry), and love to teach what I know. 

While some properties can be picked up at good prices, turns out in certain areas the proliferation of newer nearby strip malls, more attractive, spacious, copious parking was too competitive.

Although having my first property within 30 minutes would be ideal, home prices are expensive and the market is still very competitive in this area.

It is very competitive.

@Michael P.The market while cooking slightly is still very hot and there is a lot of competition for what you are looking for.2 suggestions that I would make to you. 1 don’t worry about the llc.

The DC market has very few small muti-family properties and competition for them is intense.
