Especially, out-of-state investors too that have no such connections looking to invest in Salt Lake City area.

I visit Warm Lake, Idaho every year (2.5 hrs north of Boise) and have seen Boise transformed over the last 25+ years.

Just hoping to get some opinions real quick......I live in a gated Lake community in California... 

My wife and I have a 9.46ac parcel in Umatilla (Lake Co) FL that is a lot smaller but we've explored similar options.  

i have a great property i could send you that i found has many great qualities its a cozy modern home with workshop and detached garage price is close to half a million but could very possible to change the sellers mind for your price range seeing as it needs renovations not many but still need them this property is in washington state but the area is good for selling seeing as a majority is rich and looking for nature vacation getaways right by a beutiful lake and mountain contact me if you would like to find out more i will have to note if you consider and take the property i do require a finders fee of a minimum of 500 depending on the deal 

I am under contract on a lake front house but still in the due diligence period - I just learned that it's designated flood zone A.

Hi @Lake Bradford, there are some properties that are still available for rental and you can limit your search to those or you can consider buying and once you decide if you want to move elsewhere, sell the condo and take the equity/appreciation and invest in a home elsewhere. 

We ran my in-laws mountain/lake STR for 7 years before they decide to sell the property. 

Generally they are right about not being able to afford properties in California, but this summer I bought a condo up in Lake Tahoe for a 110K.

I just checked my lake house because we are considering an off-market house down the street for STR.
