We had a property with this type of sewer and replaced it with PVC, a much improved product. 

Does anyone have experience with buying rental or STR property there or have a connection there that I could speak to?

BP forum messed up my post. was going to say this: I use eggshell for all of my own properties.

I could see this fit into several categories of 'real property trades or businesses.'

Now, you can try to find a property that already has a section 8 tenant.

I have over a hundred rental units I own and operate in Utah everything from homes and condos to larger multifamily.Salt Lake County has higher property taxes and is basically built out already and Ogden even though you can find good opportunities in the long run it won't be able to compete with South Utah County or Eagle Mountain. 

Are you primarily looking for cash-flowing properties, distressed deals, or value-add opportunities?

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.
