Salt Lake City offers attractive opportunities for real estate investors, from the tech-driven southern suburbs to the vibrant downtown core. But, the obstacle many investors face is managing the day-to-day challenges that can make or break an investment's performance.

Choosing the right property management partner means understanding how different companies approach tenant placement, maintenance coordination, and market positioning in a city where rents vary dramatically between neighborhoods like Rose Park and Sugar House.

To help you compare your options, we've analyzed the following key details for each Salt Lake City property manager (where available):

Year founded
Monthly management pricing
Tenant placement fee
Lease renewal cost
Maintenance markup/coordination fee
Onboarding fee
Capital improvement oversight fee

This list isn’t exhaustive. Instead, we focused on companies with transparent pricing and a proven track record delivering consistent results for rental property investors throughout the Salt Lake City metropolitan area.
