Go visit some local credit unions in SLC, see what they're offering on HELOCs.

So, after traveling to Ohio to visit family I went and looked at a quad that is up for sale. 

We are considering Boise because we have family there and try to visit every summer. 

Thankfully everything passed on the first visit.

Plus you will still need to have funds to cover the costs of: Appraisal, Broker Fee (if using one), Title Insurance & Property Insurance, + liquidity to start the rehab, and then receive draws from the lender as you complete the project (site visits would be done to confirm the work is being completed as expected before they will fund your draw).

"We can now give customers a cash offer remotely over the phone, without having to visit their house.

There's all sort of other factors too (if you have family in each state or another reason to visit, landlord laws, etc.) but primarily I would focus on the economies of the two states and projections for the future over the next 5-10 years. 

I've visited many towns in CT and I always like to re-check on them to see how things have changed (or stayed the same).

I would love to visit about Tulsa and our fee structure.

I am using a PM that I have a relationship with and they are my best eyes on the ground, they visit the properties that I am looking at.
