The market in Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, and Logan is crazy right now, so financing anything is really hard to justify.

I agree with you in certain markets that don't appreciate the returns are only what you can make on cash flow over a long period of time and you never have to sell or recapture deprecation or have major cap ex either of those will kill your returns back to next to zero.but you take high appreciating markets and these charts are not accurate at all. its the dead an dying or non appreciating markets that weigh down the US averages.. any property bought in say SF or SF peninsulas back in 08 have basically gone up 4X  and or more.. other areas say Detroit or other cities that saw mass movement out of area .. properties peaked in mid 90s and have been going down ever since .. with the exception of the craze to buy SFRs as rentals by out of country or state investors this has propped up values in these areas.. 

My city has ordinances regarding where a camper can be parked. 

Or sell my house take the 30k and invest into the new city .

10 roofs 10 tax bills 10 insurance policies 10 wet basements 10 closing costs 10 clogged gutters 10 city code inspectors 10 yards to mow .. the list is endless .
