You could reach out to the folks at The Nature Conservancy and they could provide additional info if that route sounds appealing.  

Hello there community, in the recent days I have been teasing the idea of house hacking if I decide to move in the future  in SLC ( love skiing and the nature). 

I have not had that happen, but natural gas is a lot more reliable than power. 

Given your focus on equity and scaling for future development, targeting properties where you can force appreciation through value add renovations seems like a natural fit.

I have a similar perspective, as I am right on your heels with the same decision, so I'm naturally inspired. 

Effective December 1, 2024, ownership of the property has been transferred from Michael Anderson to Electric Sage Brush, a limited liability company.All terms and conditions of this lease agreement remain in full effect, and all payments, notices, and correspondence should henceforth be directed to Electric Sage Brush LLC at the following address:2001 Space Odyssey Dr, Cody, WY 82414This change in ownership does not affect the tenant’s rights or obligations under the lease agreement.All parties sign to confirm the change.

I would suggest you be as genuine and natural as possible.

The market can be tricky with its block-by-block nature, but it's been a great fit for all-cash purchases like yours.I also have a team on the ground in Detroit that helps manage everything from finding deals to overseeing rehabs, which is crucial for out-of-state investors.

My due diligence process was certainly tightened up after that deal and analyzing properties and understanding what things will cost is now 2nd nature to me. 

But that is also in the very nature of real estate, it is long-term.
