My wife and I are House-hacking a Triplex in Salt Lake City, UT and are looking to add a Community Laundry room with two sets of hookups for the remnants who don't already have laundry.

There is a club in Salt Lake City and near St. 

So take what I say with a grain of salt since I have no practical experience...When I eventually go through with this, my plan will be to purchase the most expensive 4-plex that I can while still putting 0% down using the VA loan.

The one exception would be a house that has a spray foam insulated roof.

For instance, sometimes Trulia lists a bunch of crimes in an area, then you look and it just turns out there's a courthouse and people are getting warrants issued for not showing up to traffic court.Niche.com - Again, take the things here with a grain of salt, but it gives you a rough idea of what an area is like.

Nobody should take my opinions worth a grain of salt as long as they reside on the planet Earth or a subsidiary.

Any agent worth his salt isn't going to do 100X the effort to find you the one deal you are looking for.

I am a CPA and recently relocated to the Salt Lake City area from Las Vegas.

Account ClosedHi Laurence,I am a rookie on these forums so take this with a grain of salt,Banks or lenders will still give you a mortgage, if you show them you have a contract for the sale of the original property.

So take everything with a grain of salt and a truckload of due diligence.
