The jury is NOT out anymore; Utah is one of the nation’s fastest-growing states, which has yielded a crazed demand for exceptional apartment complexes. Even the state’s largest cities boast neighborhoods that evoke small-town charm, while simultaneously providing a spectacular metropolitan experience – all while being encompassed by some of the most breathtaking scenery America has to offer. With such a magnetic presence to non-Utahns, investing in an apartment complex could be one of the most rewarding decisions of your life – if you do so wisely!.
The first order of business is ensuring you are beyond meticulous! Be as thorough as possible in all stages, from selecting the parties involved (brokers, lenders, attorneys) to how you would like units to be shown. Take in the surroundings, understanding not how you see your complex, but what you currently see all around it. Demographics, taxes, which trends to embrace, which to separate from. Your complex is your project, but that project is one piece of a much larger puzzle. Relatedly, know full well how much of that project you want to oversee, versus coughing up for management professionals (which, to be clear, is absolutely not unwise).
To no one’s surprise, Salt Lake City is overflowing with renter potential, as students, single professionals, young couples and established families eagerly make their way to the Beehive State capital. The accessibility, schooling, proximity to nature and public transportation are just a few ingredients of its allure to renters.
The two Wests (West Jordan and West Valley City) also present fertile ground for complexes, as renters are still a short trip from downtown Salt Lake City but have a slightly stronger sense of the charming suburban lifestyle.
Further out from the capital, the rapid increase in the populations of Provo, which is roughly 60 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, and St. George by the Arizona and Nevada borders, offer fantastic prospects for apartment investments.
