Is Idaho A Good Opportunity For Out-Of-State MLOs?
As a Utah resident and licensed in the surrounding states. I would not suggest Idaho as an option to get your MLO license. Unless you have solid connections with real estate agents from several regions throughout the state. I have only found success as an MLO in the state of Idaho due to targeting real estate investment groups outside the state. Rental properties are a good opportunity near the Air Force base in Mountain Home Idaho. Obviously, anything near Sun Valley will do well, but most of that property was swallowed up over a decade ago. Idaho Falls is seeing a huge influx of non-residents due to the recently built U.S. Government laboratories just outside of Idaho Falls. But the residents of Idaho Falls, Pocatello, and other small communities along the I-15 corridor are NOT excited about the expansion and are actively not selling their homes to investors.
Make sure you take a hard look at what Idaho has to offer you before you make the jump into that market.
