Question 1

What is a strong cash flow property?

Accepted Answer

A strong cash flow property generates positive monthly income after all expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancies). In Utah, this typically means a rent-to-price ratio above 0.7% monthly.

Question 2

Where are the best cash flow markets in Utah?

Accepted Answer

Ogden, West Valley City, West Jordan, and Provo offer the strongest rent-to-price ratios in Utah. These markets combine affordable purchase prices with strong rental demand from growing populations and university students.

Question 3

How do I calculate cash flow for a Utah rental property?

Accepted Answer

Monthly cash flow = Gross rent - (Mortgage + Property tax + Insurance + HOA + Maintenance reserve [10%] + Vacancy reserve [5%] + Property management [8-10%]). Use actual local rental comps and current interest rates for accurate projections.
