Hi all,

I'm looking at a few vacant lots - one I already own and one I'm thinking about buying.  I'd like to create a quick and dirty topo map as part of my diligence to figure out if the lot is buildable given local ordinance.  Ideally, I'd just turn on the app, walk my property, and then the app would create a topographic map, and maybe provide some shading based on inputs like slope %.

I've used iphone apps like Gaia to import 3rd party topographic maps and map hikes using waypoints.  But after looking around, I haven't seen any of these apps built for real estate.  

Does anyone have a good app recommendation or a hack that I can use?

Intriguing.  I live in Sunnyvale, CA and am renting a 1,500 sq ft 3x2 that would sell for $1.6m if put on the market.  So, options in my own backyard are limited. 

My wife is from UT and we visit 2-3 times a year.  I went to college there as well.  So UT is probably the secondary market I'd have the most knowledge of.

For what reasons would you suggest staying away from UT?

(I'm totally with you on the skiing)  

Huge thanks to the professionals who replied here.  This was my first post and I'm blown away by the turnaround time and quality of insight provided.  

I'm open to a counter on Nudge just cause I don't want to seem one-sided.  But....red flags...yeah.  Seems like they might not be the right partner for me.  

@Steven Bond Nice to know you. I'll give you a call this week. Am hoping to find a nice SFH as a long-term investment.

@Jeffrey S. Breglio I'm taking your advice to heart and flying out to UT in 2 weeks to get a better feel for the market.  Let me know if you are open to grabbing a coffee/hot chocolate somewhere near Lehi.

Does anyone have experience working with a company called Nudge, based in Lindon, Utah?  The company url is https://nudge.com/

They look legit - they have 60 employee reviews on Glassdoor and were written up in the Inc 5000 as one of the top growth companies in Utah.  Their company description is this:  "Based out of Lindon, UT, Nudge aims to provide its clients with single-family, owner-occupied, and investment properties, as well as a variety of top-notch real estate services."

However, they haven't responded to several emails to their corporate address, 1:1 inquiries from a few people on BP, or phone calls.  Their corporate phone line had a weird extension that didn't even seem like it belonged to a company called "Nudge."

The lack of response is strange - I should be right in the center of their bulls-eye: I'm a prospective investor from CA who is looking to buy properties (SFH) in Salt Lake and Utah counties.

Anyone know them?
