From what I've heard, CA is very ADU friendly so check with your city on what's allowed.

For the areas of interest (you are local so I'll say suburbs west of City Line Avenue) there are few and far between -and- have many investors sitting on large sums of cash to jump on anything that comes up (where I would be navigating a reverse 1031.) 

I visited a few years ago and was amazed with the city.

I’m naturally inclined toward this area because it’s within driving distance of major west Coast cities (L.A., San Diego, and others)—making it feel like a “natural” choice for a regional traveller wanting to get away for a short weekend. 

Quote from @Breland Clark: I would like to know more about developing land and subdivisions for new builds and apartment buildings. talk to the land development arms in your city or state.

.#1 I would call the city rentals department directly and ask if the seller's license will remain active until the day yours becomes active.

If anyone has advice for someone in my shoes moving to the Salt Lake County/Utah county area and possibly the city of Logan, It would be much appreciated.

No off-street parking = not worth doing MTR unless it meets all of the following: super urban area where no parking is the norm, highly desirable area with a ton of MTR demand, super safe part of the city, and has great public transportation (think NYC, Hoboken NJ, etc.)Unless it meets all of the criteria above, I pass on those opportunities because my MTR will be eliminating the many people that travel with their vehicles.

Lots of cities have restrictions..Arlington limits to a fairly small area of town, Ft.

What city is the property in?
