I bought my 1st home at 21 for 87k sold for 197k, 2nd home 170k and sold for 320k, 3rd 300k and sold for 589k and buyers paid all closing costs expenses etc... It is possible and very lucrative as long as all steps and details are followed|
I worked my ass off with 2 full time jobs and extras on the weekend. Saved up 25k and handed that over to my financial Adviser to put down and for investing. So I continued working my ass off and in less than three months I was able to lay my hands on my first property.

I've been to Utah three times. I'm literally in love with this state! First, I went there to see the National Parks and because I love the outdoor. Then, I discovered that the laws and rules in Utah are much different compare to other states in the country. Maybe because I'm from Kazakhstan and I'm Russian, they fit my personality much better than anywhere in the country. I've traveled a lot inside the United States, and Utah is definitely the most incredible state!
I have to agree
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Reid Skyler Instablaster :)
@Mathias Jayson Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Mathias Jayson it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
Utah is growing so fast. I live on one of the few farms left in one of the bigger Utah cities. Some of our neighbors sold their land and now they’re building apartments and homes around us. There are people offering all the time but the earth isn’t building anymore land. So we’re holding on.
Lots of construction in utah
Please stay if possible on the farm although I know with the drought we are experiencing and the heat it must be difficult. It’s. a shame how growth has increased and little land is left.
Hang on. They are building more land. Only buildings. Realtors and developers just want to make a quick buck and will tempt you with $$$
Thank you very much for your great explanations about Utah!!!
Glad it was helpful!
When I was working at Alta, I used the Ski buses to get downtown and back up to Alta. Also, when I to ski trips, and stayed at a Hostel in the Avenues, I took the ski bus from Downtown SLC to Little Cottonwood Canyon. The dry air, I didn't get colds like I do in Texas and other places in the East side of the Rockies (humid areas). Sundance film festival.
Thanks for sharing
Excellent presentation and information!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good overview of Utah. Southern Utah has seen much growth in the last couple of years. There are several major developments going on at any one time. My concern is that too many people move into the area and we start to experience high crime rates, big traffic, and even higher home prices.
Ive had the same thoughts.
That’s exactly what is going to happen. :)
@@CrazyBunniePanda well we had a great run Utahns.
Im very happy in the Bay Area and have no intention of leaving, but I have many relatives in Utah and they seem to enjoy it, so good for them.
Thanks for sharing!
For the people that like to be outside throwing a barbecue with friends and family things like that here you only gonna have if your lucky 4 months of comfortable warm weather all the rest of the year is cold, snow shitti mix of windy cloudy days
70 degrees today, my neighbors have the bbq going.
I like Your Video Thank You see Mountains Happy Wednesday everyone Stay Safe We Are Going To Be Okay nothing worry about Be Still Be Strong
Thanks, you too!
Great information thanks for sharing
Your welcome
Nice to see and hear what's life looks like in this part of US. Thanks for video. Best wishes from Serbia/Europe.
Thanks for watching!
Interesting and helpful ,thank you mike
Very welcome
Yooooo, one of the biggest con I can see that will maybe kill Utah now and in the future is the housing cost, that’s what make people move to a state, so with your high housing cost Utah will not grow and other states will grow faster because they have a lower housing cost, for example, Cali housing cost is driving out people everyday
Yes, and wages haven’t kept up with the growth.
Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
Super thorough... Wow! Thanks... I am one of "those" Californians... I thought it was going to be NC, Georgia, but am not sure... Love to bike and found skibiking last week and loved it.... Question.. I hate flying... How bad is turbulance in Salt lake vs Denver in general and your views on Cedar City? Better air quality there? And the economy? Thanks again great video!
I've never experienced any turbulance at the airport. Cedar city is a college town.
Been here for 47 years and can’t believe all the condos, apartments being built ( many of them ugly). I think it will be more difficult living somewhere that’s in the country. When we first moved here in Sandy, people thought it was very far away. Draper was a sleepy little town and Provo and Orem weren’t that large either. The traffic is horrible and rents and housing are sky high! On the other hand very good medical facilities. We are seniors so I’m glad of that., but if we were younger we’d probably move as it seems to be growing into another California.
As someone looking to escape Commiefornia, thanks for the heads-up! I often consider that trying to flee to someplace with better people is just going to net me into a similar situation, only I have to start all over again. I wish there were more quality people in the world.
@@truthseeker6377 there’s quality people here but too much growth too fast. And unfortunately some moving here are bringing their politics with them.
@@rosemariekury9186 they are literally like a virus. It really trips me out how American society has unfolded the past 4 or 5 decades, where quality people are now so far in the minority whilst so many others are complete cowardly Communist weasels. It's pretty maddening. I love the weather here, but sometimes I fantasize about a place like Utah where maybe I could be more isolated, but inside I know that every place has pluses and minuses and I fear that running for cover I will find myself confronted with the same issue.
@@truthseeker6377 Utah is not as bad as California. There are still some small towns left with quality people that you’d like and the healthcare system is awesome. It’s not as good as the 70s and 80s though and housing is high. But so far we have a fairly sane state government compared to California, Washington and Oregon.
@@rosemariekury9186 Thanks so much for the feedback! And yeah, I was surprised at the listings I browsed through. They were definitely a lot more expensive than I thought they might be.
My boss joked "you better love Mormons" and I told him hell, I'll JOIN the Mormons at this point! Anything to get away from these freaking Commies!!!
I've been in Utah for 6 years and I loved it. there is nothing that it doesn't have. First, there are a lot of national parks in the area. Second, it is not as crowded as the other states. I am not a Morman and saying this, I am saying this from a non-morman perspective.
Thanks for watching
I am a filipina and i keep dreaming of working in utah so i got the chance to see the spectacular views in utah.
Thanks for watching
You can do itttt
time to become mormon haha
@@PcGamerify that's like saying everyone from Pennsylvania is Amish.
Compared to SF Bay Area, the air here in the Salt Lake valley is fine.
Good to know
What insight can you give me on Saratoga Springs. I’m looking to move in a couple months and start a HVAC business. I’m already operating one in Washington state for the last five years. I do quite well in Washington but hoping I can do the same in Utah County.
Saratoga springs is a great area
Yo Im a HVAC technician I’ve planning to move to Utah for work
Just a heads up- mosquitos are terrible in that area in the summer...
@@NeGBusa ayeee me too!!
Hi.
I'm frome Germany and considering moving to Utah or Texas in 2 years.
My question is how big is my Chance to get a Visa as a blue colored worker?
Im 27 get a 3 years education as a pipefiter and working now 7 years as a ironworker in the oil Industrie (Shell).
Second question is how good can in life of these jobs.
I saw a lot of videos but they only consider withe colored jobs.
I would appreciate an answer.
The question about the visa? I have no idea on your chances.
In Utah at the current time, quite a few companies are hiring for pipefitters.
What about Wendover? It's only 120 miles west of SLC on I-80 on the Utah/Nevada border. Casino gambling there.
Correct, on the nevada side of wendover, you have casino's
Air Quality really isn’t a con for me anymore, I’m from the Central
Valley in California. A few days of bad air is nothing
thanks for viewing
You’re getting more than a few days of that. California fires are affecting the air here big time, and the drought should make people reconsider moving here.
So how is public transport? Is there commuter rail like from Logan to Salt Lake City?
No commuter rail from logan. They are talking about it.
Salt Lake has light rail and a bus system. Front Runner commuter train runs up and down the Wasatch Front.
To be honest, public transport has always been sub-par compared to other areas. The only people I hear complain are transplants.
Besides service/retail, Government related, and Veterinarian, what other industries is Utah booming and hiring in?
P.S. Hello from Colorado and thanks for making this video.
Tech industry, outdoor recreation companies. Is there a particular industry that your interested in.
@@livinginutah Sales, or something to do with online commerce. I know you all are the home of a company called “Blade HQ”
Thank you so much for telling me I am deciding whether to live in Sweden or Utah
Any time!
I never thought about buying a snowcat?!
Great fun, and you can access some backcountry areas.
Con: just about every utah city has the same stores , same restraunts, nothing difrent really
As a transplant, this is not true at all. All native Utahns complain about exactly this, but ive found so many restaurants and stores that locals have never heard of or been to. Hell at my office I've been here 3 weeks and have already gone to a handful of local restaurants (not chains) that people in my office haven't even heard of despite being less than 2 minutes from them. When you grow up in an area you tend to explore A LOT less. Anyone from out of town is going to be looking for certain things like good street tacos to match Texas. I was told i'd never find any. I found some on day 4 here. Local owned Al Pastor taco place, incredibly good with homemade corn tortillas. But again, no one who has lived here has ever heard of it or been there. There is a lot of diversity in northern Utah nowadays, and that brings diverse foods.
What can you tell me about Beryl, Ut? I'm preparing to move to SW Utah but St. George is priced right out of my budget.
Small town in iron county. low population. ideal for someone looking to live in rural Utah. Drawback for some is the elevation (approx. double the elevation of st george), St George is known for its mild winters. In beryl, it will be a little colder and possibility of snow.
Enterprise 10 miles south of Beryl would be a much better choice. Great little town with friendly people. Beryls just a wide spot in the highway and pretty desolate.
Dont think you would like it much.
Check out New Harmony.
@@livinginutah I didn't get a chance to drive that far into the backcountry but I looked at some listings and wow, the appeal is there. Not sure if I want to deal with the winters there.
@@livinginutah What kind of winter weather would I be facing there in Beryl?
If you go from city to city along the Wasatch front, not a big difference! Same stores, and hills it's all the same!
Thanks for watching
New York City have Green Air Day All the Time! This is because of the Location, We are Right on the East Coast!
Thanks for watching
I want to see the Great Salt Lake and Lake Utah
Let me add another con to living in Utah. If you own dogs, you have to pay $15-$40 PER YEAR license fee for each pet compared to states like N.D where you pay once and that's it for the life of that pet unless it changes owners.
Thanks for the information
wtf you gotta pay to have a dog? lmao
I just googled Utah Dog license. In Provo, unaltered dogs will set you back $35 per year while spayed and neutered dogs can be registered for $15 per year. Multi-year registrations are available depending on the length of vaccine coverage. Salt Lake City, Dogs who have not been fixed cost $40 per year, while spayed and neutered dogs will only set you back $15 per year.
My State:
1 Year Tag -
$32.00
3 Year Tag - $48.00
Permanent Tag - $160.00
Oh my
I haven’t see a video about Utah that really say something clear about working in any industries over there.
Reach out to me, and ill give you some assistance
A keen individual will notice a great many omissions and discrepancies in regards to Utah. This isn't by accident...
We want to buy an apartment but are we allowed to do it since we have Swedish citizens and not American citizens?
Should be able to
Yes my mom is a Chinese citizen and she’s able to buy and rent
What is the furthest city in Utah from Las Vegas (gambling problem here)?
Logan utah area
Vegas aside, Utah borders Wendover Nevada. It's much smaller than Vegas but has a fair share of casinos. It's 3 hours away from Logan and less than 2 away from Salt Lake City. I hope this helps. Good luck with your journey!
@@livinginutah even then, Wendover is still "close"
Cant wait to leave chicago
😀
No mention of higher state taxes?
Compared to?
@@livinginutah states without income tax like Florida, Nevada, Texas, Wyoming, Tennessee...
@@mildsriracha9630 those states you mentioned have higher property taxes compared to Utah
Once I woke up looked outside my window and see… black fog I don’t thing that is healthy
UTAAAH living out of state I was ask several times where are you from? I just cant figure out your accent.
Thanks for watching
Trying to get the hell out of Tennessee.
Why?
I living in Utah it’s is Beautiful I like Outdoors Watch Hiking Video I Want move down there Walk On The Trails Go To College Get A Job
Thanks for watching
I had a stroke reading this
Typical Utahn. No sane folk live there.
To me it depends on what personality type you are, if you are semi-upper class and like 'bourgeois' things to do, you'll probably love it here. If you're more traditional working class or like more of the 'sub-culture' of a city then this is definitely not the place for you. If you like things more spread out, you'll probably like it here. If you like walking along restaurant heavy 'promenades,' you're not going to find that here either. If you want more gentrification and less 'artsy,' then you'll probably like it here also.
Whenever I hear the phrase,"open and TRANSPARENT" I know those two word will never be demonstrated.
Don't need to compare it with Vegas to see how much dancing, night culture and bars are almost none existing in utah.
Looking forward to move there!!
When are you moving to utah?
Is it only me, or he sounds like Saul Goodman?😁
Thanks
thinking of moving to saint george area from monterey county. like that its very conservative and pro guns.
The whole state of utah is conservative and pro guns.
@@livinginutah good,,, I was actually raised somewhat liberal and recently grew up through covid and the election and found out that I like the conservative ways like my other grandparents are,,and am turning out to be very pro gun,,,so I am going to check out the saint george area in April,,,,let me ask,,, I know I can't buy a gun with a california license but can I buy ammo??? Also I am liking some of the south Utah house prices,,,they are like half of what it is out here for what I'm looking for
@@PAC_84 you can buy ammo. ammo is hard to find lately, you may have to call around various stores. If you can catch a "gun show", ive heard they have it.
@@livinginutah ok thanks,,,, I hope I can find some 12 gauge and .40 cal,,,, thanks for all your help
See people packing guns in Walmart all the time. I think that's why we have such a low crime rate. No Antifa scum here!
Low population of black people and strict marijuana laws/not many bars and nightclubs will equal low crime rates. What a shocker
You say these things about the economy booming and bringing jobs there and everything is great! This opinion was stated when Mr President Donald Trump was still in office. How would you say the economy and things are now that biden is in office?
As of todays date, things are still booming in utah.
You do not want the place turning into Florida.
What's the major change you have seen
Ok Utah is not for me, I'm looking to live with less people. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
utah kinda sucks if your an athiest
Very true. It kinda sucks everywhere being an atheist tbh. Especially in the USA
Or a woman
@@natashawarden2810 why does it suck being a woman there?
@@bluefate2159 very few women in politics and fewer options to move up business ladders
@@storminmormn6283 Just keep it to yourself and ignore what you don't like.
What about naked hot springs?
