It’s probably one of the more unique names for a city borough that I’ve ever heard of.   

All units had been recently updated with newer appliances, mini-split a/c units, and contained a unique amenity specific to each unit.

As you probably know, Sugarhouse/Liberty Wells is a neighborhood that has some characteristics that are uniquely advantageous for appreciation.Specifically, the natural boundaries of the mountains the North and East, and the man-made boundaries of the interstates to the South and West are probably a big factor in driving appreciation in that area (since supply of single family houses inside those boundaries is limited--and there are very few new single family homes being built inside those boundaries).Not only is that beneficial for inflation, but it makes your property in-demand for renters who will pay a premium to be inside those boundaries. 

Hey guys — have started doing a lot of work around thinking about long-term plans for real estate investing (listening to all the podcasts, reading various books, etc.).I’m in a situation that I’m shocked if it is unique, but there aren’t many answers to this online, so was curious to this community's view:I have a high paying W-2 job and have no expectation of leaving in the near-term, however, I would like to use the cash flow from this job to invest in real estate over the coming years to be in a position to retire when I’m ~40 from that income (~10 years out), if I choose to.For someone that has almost no time to spend on day-to-day management / would hire a manager, but also that wants to keep their life simple (i.e., doesn’t want to involve financing partners), how do you think about scaling financing when all properties are your own (after the first few mortgages, how do you get to 20 that are actually yours vs. having a financing partner)?

The problem is the conclusion you came to isn't unique.  

Building anything new (duplex, SFH etc) is a unique project that has a large learning curve that requires lots of time and money.

If the appraisal comes in $20k short on the unicorn statue house, that's how you'd interpret that: you're financing the house-house parts as normal, and paying cash for the unique unicorn statue. 2) The buyer or seller is making an error.
