Investment Properties in Centerville, Utah

Returns vary by property, financing, and management approach. In the current market, cash-on-cash returns for a well-purchased rental property typically range from 4–8% before appreciation. Cap rates for single-family rentals generally run 4–6%. Total returns including appreciation, principal paydown, and tax benefits can exceed 12–15% annually. We provide property-specific pro forma analysis so you know exactly what to expect before making an offer.

Investment property loans typically require 15–25% down for a single-family rental and 25% for 2–4 unit properties. Some portfolio lenders offer 10% down for strong borrowers. DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loans are available for investors who prefer to qualify based on the property's rental income rather than personal income. We help you structure financing that preserves capital for multiple acquisitions.

It depends on your time, proximity, and number of properties. Self-management saves the management fee (typically 8–10% of rent) but requires you to handle tenant calls, maintenance coordination, rent collection, and legal compliance. As your portfolio grows past 2–3 units, the time investment usually exceeds the management fee savings. Our property management service handles everything from day one.

A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital gains taxes when you sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into a like-kind replacement property. Strict timelines apply: 45 days to identify replacement properties and 180 days to close. We coordinate with qualified intermediaries and help you identify replacement properties that improve your portfolio's cash flow and appreciation potential.

Centerville and Bountiful share I-15 proximity, but Centerville tends to be slightly more affordable and less hilly than Bountiful's east bench. Centerville's Parrish Lane is more commercially developed than Bountiful's Main Street, giving it a slight edge in walkable errands. Both are in the Davis School District with quick SLC access. For investors, Centerville may offer marginally better yields, while Bountiful's east bench commands higher absolute rents. Both are strong, stable markets with low turnover.

A 3-bedroom single-family home in Centerville typically rents for $1,800–$2,200, with 4-bedroom homes reaching $2,200–$2,600 depending on condition and location. Townhomes and condos range from $1,400–$1,800. These rents are competitive with Bountiful and slightly below Farmington. The key differentiator is very low vacancy, well-priced properties often receive applications within the first week of listing, and renewals are common with modest annual increases.

Centerville has limited undeveloped land, and much of the remaining open space faces development challenges (steep terrain, wetlands, or established zoning). Some infill projects and tear-down/rebuilds occur sporadically. This supply constraint is actually a benefit for existing property owners, without new competition flooding the market, existing inventory maintains its value and rental demand. The city's General Plan prioritizes maintaining neighborhood character over density increases.
