Murray is one of Salt Lake County's most established cities, anchored by Intermountain Medical Center (the state's largest hospital) and Fashion Place Mall. The city's central location at the intersection of I-15 and I-215 provides exceptional transportation access, and both TRAX Blue and Red lines serve Murray stations. Housing ranges from charming mid-century homes in Murray's core to newer townhome developments near the hospital and commercial districts. The city has a distinct identity with its own school district (Murray City School District), a walkable historic downtown, and an active arts and culture scene. Investors find Murray attractive for institutional employment (healthcare), dual TRAX lines, and a mix of condos, mid-century homes, and townhomes.

Contact OndoConventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo, and specialty options. We match your profile and goals to a program that may fit. That is not a promise of approval or of a particular rate.
We review credit, income, assets, and debts, then may issue a pre-approval letter if the file supports it. That is not a commitment to lend.
Rate is the interest cost; APR includes most lender fees, providing a more complete cost comparison across loans.
Often a few percent of the purchase price for lender, title, and prepaid items. Confirm the amount on your Loan Estimate rather than a marketing range.
Minimums vary by program. Stronger credit typically improves pricing. We’ll suggest steps to optimize credit before locking.
Often yes, especially with FHA and conventional loans. Your lender will outline documentation needed for compliant gift sourcing.
Debt-to-income compares monthly debts vs. gross income. Most programs prefer DTI under 45%, though exceptions exist.
Expect tax returns, transcripts, YTD profit and loss, and bank statements on many files. Some Non-QM programs allow alternative documentation. See /learn/variable-income. This is not a promise that any stack will be accepted.
Discount points can lower rate for the life of the loan; temporary buydowns reduce payments for 1–3 years. We model both scenarios.
Common lock periods are 30–60 days. We select a lock that covers your closing timeline with flexibility for extensions if needed.
PMI generally applies with <20% down on conventional loans and can be removed as equity grows, per investor guidelines.
You can ask about refinancing later to change rate, term, or equity access. We do not promise to notify you when a refinance is advantageous.
Intermountain Medical Center employs thousands of workers across all shifts, doctors, nurses, technicians, administrators, and support staff. This creates a deep, year-round demand pool for rentals in Murray. Travel nurses on 13-week assignments create a furnished rental niche. Permanent staff prefer proximity to minimize commute time, especially those on early or late shifts. Properties within 10 minutes of the hospital offer a short commute to Intermountain Medical Center. The hospital's institutional stability insulates Murray's rental market from broader economic volatility.
The Fireclay District is an emerging arts and commercial zone in Murray, centered around the redevelopment of the historic fireclay manufacturing area. It features local restaurants, galleries, event spaces, and Murray's growing craft food scene. The district is evolving into a walkable destination that gives Murray cultural identity beyond the mall and hospital. For investors, proximity to Fireclay adds walkable restaurants, galleries, and foot traffic that support rent and occupancy.
Yes, Murray City School District is one of Utah's few city-operated districts, separate from Granite and Canyons school districts that serve surrounding areas. It is small and separately governed from Granite and Canyons. Continuity of a school year can support renewals when a tenant already lives in the zone.
