His leadership, practical experience and “hustle” mentality has given him a unique advantage to grow and adapt in different market cycles, and he is constantly learning in the evolving in the world of real estate.

Topic: "Investing After The Election: What To Do Next"

Matt Atkinson started his career in real estate 19 years ago as a mortgage professional and is currently a branch manager of Intercap Lending. He has been investing in real estate for the last 16 years. He purchased his first investment property in 2004, a single-family home through a short sale, which is a rental unit he still owns today. However, he over-improved the property, spent too much money on the renovation, and mismanaged his tenants. Throughout this process he learned the struggle of having a full-time job and being a landlord, and how to effectively utilize other industry professionals to improve his investing.

Matt credits this experience with getting him addicted to local real estate investing and now owns over 22 million of rental properties personally and with partners. He has accumulated 25,500 hours experience – nearly 7 years round the clock – and has personally invested over $1.87 million dollars in rehabbing rental properties since 2004, and an additional $4.55 million on flip properties since 2008.

After making only $500 on his first flip project, he reevaluated the strategies others were using and learned how to effectively buy the property, get the most bang for his buck during the remodel, and how to price the home for the quickest and most profitable return. In 2012, Matt and his team added real estate consulting to their services. He has focused consulting on a local level with his expertise ranging from rentals, land lording, hard money lending, fix and flipping, assignments and building wealth as an investor. He currently is the President of UVREIA, which he has served on the board for 8 years. He serves as an advisory board member of the Salt Lake City NAHREP chapter for the last 2 years. He is also a member of SLREIA since 2008, UAMP since 2005, and UtahREIA since 2016.
