I am a realtor and investor in SLC and would love to ask some questions to local experts (Realtors, property managers, etc) about buying an investment property in St.

Get with a local banker and have them walk you through the process of getting a loan from them. 

I have done this in my local market but my city permits the ADUs and DADUs. 

@Gabriel Mesa Fairly straightforward in the suburbs.In the City of Detroit you can NOT use zip codes, you can use Neighborhoods if you know what you are doing, but you need a trusted local to check out block-by-block to finalize decisions.Since there's a lot of rentals in the City, you also need to decide BEFORE you start a rehab, if you are targeting selling to a landlord or an owner-occupant buyer.- You tenant-proof a rental, but need higher finishes on an owner-occupant.

I've started a facebook group so hopefully some local investors or anyone in the area involved in real estate will join.  

If you want to go local, check out the RPA. 

Get out and rub elbows with local investors by joining a local real estate investor group.

Thanks, Rob  dont ivnest at crowdfund at all, but invest at local HML only that operate within the state/city using conservative underwriting.

Reach out to local real estate organizations for tips and connections.

I echo the comments, get to know the local laws and ensure you are not increasing your risk past what you are confortable.
