If salt lake city is a low cap rate market then its impossible.

They city required that I replace the best sidewalks in the neighborhood under the program and the cost was substantially higher than estimates I obtained on my own. 

You could hire property management and probably still do well although I am not sure of the options in that city.- If I use a 1031 Exchange, does the next property also have to be a duplex?

I’m looking for information from experienced investors about areas within other cities & states that are promising for such investments.

I did not want to incur the cost but I figured...that maybe....just maybe....sometime in the near future us ADU home owners may be able to rent both units....like a duplex.At that point it will be worth it to let the tenets be responsible for their own bills.Not saying that other ways are bad...they are actually very cost effective if you are living there...but what about as you scale your business and move onto other properties.This of course if your city will allow you to rent both units...the city I am in is tough but things can change as more pressure is being put on affordable housing.Once again...not saying any way is right or wrong...I just did it this way for the reason I just mentioned.Thank you....

We converted a old restaurant on the property to a coworking lounge, redid the pool and built out the roof to a entertainment center with fire pits, lounges, bubble chairs, barbeque, large screen TV, music, yoga mats and amazing views of the ocean and city lights.It is designed for coworking/coliving for business professionals and entrepreneurs who want to...Live where they work.

I have tons of connections with people who do marketing all over the city I live in.

If you don't do that and the neighbors complain like it happened to me, the city will knock on the door to see what's going on and give you like a $100 per day fine which I paid.

I was wondering if anyone knows which areas/cities are best to buy a house.

My goal is to understand the current demand and rental potential for ADUs in this part of the city, as well as the costs involved in building.
