We would like to buy property in a strong market with good appreciation potential and Utah is a place that we are very familiar with (my wife grew up there and I lived there for 6 years).

The appeal includes lower vacancy risk, higher rents, and a diverse range of offerings, potentially strengthening your portfolio.

At today's rents that's decade(s) of net rental income even when taking into account any potential increases.Rents however would get $3k/mo on the high end, and more realistically around $2.6k/mo.

What are some potential pit falls to avoid as I begin?

With the number of available properties being that low you could honestly analyze every one of them so the specific zip codes and areas aren't as important as if you were looking with criteria that offered hundreds of results.I'd recommend getting on the list for some local wholesalers to help and increase the number of potential properties that you are exposed to. 

I'd love to chat with potential investors to introduce the opportunities of investing out here.

For any reservation over 30 days you really need to have a state-specific lease in place to establish the lease terms and protect you from a potential squatter situation.

Looks like a solid property in a decent area - I would think that at first glance (just guessing) is that the 3 bedroom 1 bath is the problem - thats potentially a lot of people sharing just one bathroom - renters for 3BR homes are probably going to always go with more bathroom options
