Have you had success networking locally?

A lot of lenders should be able to do this, but local banks who only offer conventional financing usually cannot do this.

Just say you are a local investor and looking to pick up more properties in the neighborhood.

I just got word from a trusted friend who owns a large local property management company in PF.  

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.

We view it as a tool rather than a profit center.

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.
