@Doug Norton other critical issues include: decreasing availability of water and increasingly poor air quality, and an impending earthquake that is anticipated to cause significant total loss rates for the un-reinforced masonry buildings that make up much of the housing stock in the city...obviously, nobody knows when that will occur, but geologists generally agree that the earthquake is a matter of "when", not "if" (yet, my impression is that very few property owners have earthquake insurance)...it's hard to know how these issues will play out, but there is evidence that one or more of these issues will become un-ignorable on a 10-30+ year timeline.ADUs are an interesting prospect, but the last time I got quotes for building an ADU in SLC, the numbers really didn't make much sense in terms of ROI as a long term rental...of course, people build ADUs for reasons other than ROI, so it will be interesting to see what happens...Between the world-class outdoor attractions, events like Sundance Film Fest, and all the other attractions of the city and surrounding area, I would think that demand for STRs could be pretty huge...the city doesn't allow STRs, but as you mentioned, that doesn't stop people from doing them, and my impression is that some folks have cleaned up using ADUs as STRs...As with any place, the SLC RE market is highly localized, and there's a solid argument that the desirable neighborhoods (the Aves, the U, Sugarhouse, E Millcreek, and most stuff on the E side) will always be in high demand--everyone wants to live in these areas, and there's limited supply. 

But I've always had a passion for writing, and when I achieve full financial freedom (because it WILL happen), I plan on focusing more on writing screenplays for film and TV. 

Purchase price: $760,000 Cash invested: $330,000 My primary home that I house hack and rent out to film companies for movies, television, and commercials.

There is a huge film production movement that is heading up that way as well.

He also told me the movie Newburgh 5 about terrorists was partly filmed near one of my buildings BC that's were they hatched the plan.

I've had requests for tinted/reflective window film to help keep it cooler inside a location with big windows (this can be a win-win actually, since it cuts down on HVAC usage and can extend useful life and the amount of time shoppers want to spend in the store).

From being home to some of the hottest filming locations to becoming the hometown to a variety of tasteful cuisines and culture, it’s an investor’s dream spot.

We are putting in a lot of custom finishes, which works out perfectly because we are filming our HGTV-like house-flipping episodes for our Youtube channel (we ...

And the area is really starting to boom because of all the TV/Movies being filmed here. 

My farm area is laurel, where the HGTV show hometown is filmed, and the surrounding areas.
