  • I pay $1700 a month

    I charge that same amount for my rental that is two blocks from the beach. 1600sft with a garage. The unit next to me just sold for 1.4 million. I highly doubt I’m contributing to the problem.

    I also offer my tenants the option to buy the properties they live in but the property will be owner financed with the condition that it is appraised at time of “sale” and second sale gain is split with equity position. Again I’m only looking to make 7% return on my investment inflation adjusted. If they want out and they bought, I get the upside on market rate (with whatever equity position I hold). But the tenant at least keep whatever equity they grew and they get upside on their equity position.

    None of my tenants have taken the deal. I think it’s more than fair.




  • Everyone paints landlords as money grubbing evil people. I own a couple rental houses and set prices so that my return is 7% annually. While that may paint me as the description above realize this; that price was set when I set a tenant and only increases with inflation. The majority of my units are 25% below market rates because once I have a good tenant I don’t see a reason to make more work for me. 7% return and I never hear from them is worth it in my mind.
