As an investor and residential realtor, I've both done them and help people buy them.Unlike Kansas City or Memphis where you can buy a house for a pack of playing cards and some gum, Salt Lake's market is now a value-market. 

The residential subs are generally more sensitive to this type of thing.

I’m finding out a lot about residential properties this week apparently!
