The Fed met this week and held its benchmark rate at 3.5% to 3.75%.

The bigger news is the shift in tone. It was the first meeting under new chair Kevin Warsh, and the Fed dropped its earlier signal that cuts were coming. Just three months ago officials expected a rate cut this year. Now they expect a hike, with the rate ending 2026 near 3.8%. High inflation is the reason.

If you are buying, the cheap-debt wait just got longer, so pencil today's rate.

Good news most Utah landlords missed.

A bill this session would have stripped rentals of the break that taxes a home on 55% of its value instead of the full amount.

It failed.

Your rentals keep the same treatment as an owner-occupied home for now.

Growth has slowed, but the state is still hiring while much of the country is not.

More jobs means more renters, and that demand is what keeps your units full.

Here is why so many apartment deals are hard to pencil right now.

The average Utah apartment earns about 5.3% (cap rate).

The loan to buy one costs about 6.5%.

This is known as negative leverage.

When the loan costs more than the building earns, borrowing more lowers your return instead of raising it.
