Hey you guys hope you’re having a great Saturday morning. I am in Park City. and just wanted to share a couple thoughts with you.
I’m at a client’s home and I love Park City. it’s such a great place and I have a number of clients that are looking for investment properties and so I want to share a couple things to think about as you’re looking for investment properties.
My clients home is a fairly large home and one of the things to think about is that various HOAs and places here in Park City.won’t allow overnight rentals, and so what are you looking for you’re looking to rent the property nightly or do you just want a long-term renter a couple things to think about that way.
The second thing is everybody knows that the ski season, Sundance Film Festival times, those you can rent about any type of property you have; condo, large home, anything.
What we’re finding is during the summer the larger homes are renting a little bit better just because there’s a lot of family reunions and so anyway a couple things to think about.
I’d love to help you whether you’re looking to buy or sell in Park City. Park City is just a great place I love Park city and its really a good time to be looking at buying or selling property.
Anyway give me a call and I’d love to help you out.

Biking – Roads & Trails
My nine year old son is ready to start getting new parts and fixing up his bicycle. I think he is getting big enough that we may be investing in a better bike for him and start going on some rougher trails.
Recently a client asked about a home in Wasatch County for sale and whether it backed up to BLM or Forest land. They want to be able to go hiking and bike riding out their back door. Utah is a great place to find such property on which to build a home or find an existing home with close or back door access to biking trails.
One of the trails that I haven’t done for quite awhile and I need to put it on my Summer to-do list with my family, that even my six year old son can handle and will love, is the Provo Canyon Parkway. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. The bike path is paved the entire way and if you start at the top end of the Parkway, it is pretty much downhill all the way.
Here is a great website for mountain bike trails in Utah: http://www.singletracktreks.com/wasatchArea.jsp
I don’t do the road biking, but I want to put in a plug for what looks like a great new peddle for either mountain or road bikes, if you can support it please do: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2099765898/the-infinity-pedal?ref=card
Get your bikes ready!
