The Utah Rental Property Analyzer

Most "rental calculators" flatter the deal. This one tells the truth: it charges the deal for vacancy, maintenance, management, and a CapEx reserve, and it uses the full Utah property-tax rate that actually applies to a rental. Change any number and watch it recompute.

The purchase
The income
The expenses

Maintenance, management, and CapEx are percentages of gross rent. Rentals pay the full Utah property-tax rate; the primary-residence exemption does not apply.

Monthly cash flow

-$756

After the mortgage, all expenses, and reserves.

Cash-on-cash return

-7.6%

Annual cash flow ÷ cash you put in.

Cap rate

4.20%

NOI ÷ price. Ignores your loan.

DSCR

0.71

NOI ÷ mortgage. Under 1.0 means rent doesn't cover the loan.

Real talk: At these numbers the rent doesn't cover the mortgage (DSCR under 1.0), so you'd feed it every month. That can still make sense for appreciation or a house-hack, but go in with eyes open. Education only, not investment advice. Every number here is yours to change.

Want a second set of eyes on a real deal?

A calculator is only as good as its inputs, and the inputs are where deals go wrong: optimistic rent, forgotten CapEx, the HOA nobody mentioned. Send me the address or the numbers and I'll pressure-test them against what's really renting on the Wasatch Front, and flag the risks before you write an offer.
