We exited both markets, louisville because of mandating section 8 housing after Covid and just the way they handled evictions and pyments during the pandemic.

@Shiloh Lundahl I will do value add specifically with ADU development, so I am tracking permits to find other ADU developments and overall inventory growth to find a competitive edge with supplying demand in areas lacking larger residential developers aka "the middle housing"@Arlem Garcia Interesting, Tariffs will play a big role in supply chains, so it will be interesting to see how governments come to resolutions@Henry Clark Absolutely, imo gone are the days of investing for cashflow or appreciation, now it's about aligning long-term strategies with lifestyle

Since purchasing the home, housing market in my area has declined about 20%.

Also, check local zoning and park rules to ensure flexibility with different housing types.

We have a house in an opportunity zone in Texas that we bought in 2015, lived in for 3 years, and then made a rental in 2018.   

I would also mention that once you have invested in Utah, I recommend the Utah Rental Housing Association as a resource.

But do all the other houses in the subdivision have stained fences?

I'd second house hacking.
