Utah County Rental Market

[Kristyn Morgan]

We are looking at investing in our first "buy and hold" rental property in Utah County. Our thoughts are a 3-4 bedroom single family home. Originally we were primarily looking at Lehi, Springville or Mapleton, but I am curious about potential growth further south in areas like Payson or Salem. We are leaning towards new construction due to lower repair costs in the first years and the fact that the community seems to value newer over older:)

I would love any insight local investors might have--particularly in the current climate.
