Have 2 properties in Duke City.

As you begin you REI journey here is a piece of advicecheck out this website for a great over view of a city https://www.areavibes.com/This website gives you a total livability score and you can see things like crime rate, housing, walking score and more.Best of luck!

Overall it is still a very good city to invest with solid returns.

Like @Collin Hays said, it is being driven more by neighbors tired of poor STR owners not keeping things sorted.We only look for places in vacation areas with a long history of owner driven STRs vs big cities and the like.

Odds are your newer builds are on the outskirts of a city into the suburbs where people fight to get a property if it’s affordable.

If you're okay with that, you can buy in just about any MIdwest city, just make sure you know the landlord-tenant laws.We've broken down the City of Detroit's 183 Neighborhoods, can share if interested.

I did post the 'Demand to Comply' which he ignored, so now I can post the 'Notice to Terminate' and wait another 10 days.Yes, I have the notice of violations from the city and body cam from the officer. 

You could reach out to a few Property Managers in Salt Lake City to see if any of them would be able to give you advice for the area, as they would be familiar with the region and what to expect from the investment! 

I sent an email to the city and received a long response.

I understand some of the economic factors that can lead one to a particular city or province (or state), but unsure of some of the key elements as you funnel down below that level.Appreciate any insight.Tyler
