Hey Kenya, Thanks for the great advice. Salt Lake seems like it has a lot of potential for growth so we are excited invest in that area. We are interested in getting into the short term rental market as we have some experience managing that niche. I haven't purchased the AirDNA statistics yet, but I assume that more vacation rentals are near the hip areas of town? We were looking at Sugar House/Liberty Park/NE Salt Lake. It seems like these are areas of high growth, but still able to find properties for a decent price that you can force appreciation on. Thanks, Brittney

Hey Natalie, We are looking to move within the next month or so but are willing to rent for a few months in order to find the right property. We are really interested in renting out the garage apt or basement as a short term rental so I thought the neighborhoods more centrally located near downtown might perform better. Maybe we can meet up the next time we fly up to look at properties. Thanks, Brittney

My husband and I currently live in the Houston area and own a short term rental in Galveston. We have an opportunity to move to Salt Lake City and would like to reach out to local investors/agents to get a feel for the market there. Ideally we would like to find a property to house hack. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!

@Debra Broussard can't wait to get started!

@Debra Broussard sent you a message. We will be in Galveston today. 

Hi Debra, 

My husband and I recently purchased a short-term rental in Galveston, TX and it has done extremely well! We have had it listed on Airbnb, HomeAway, and FlipKey since May 2017 and our occupancy rate for the summer has been around 80%-90%. Let me know if you would like to speak with me about the specific rates we charge, cash flow, and how we are managing it.
