What to spend on an Investment Property VS. Potential Rental Income
A rental property can provide an income per month while creating equity and appreciation as time passes. It is not common to make money quickly when it comes to Investing in Real Estate, however, rental properties can be a wise investment when investors make wise decisions by conducting thorough research and planning. Investment in real estate comes with risk, and the stakes are extremely high. It is therefore essential to comprehend in addition the connections between the prices a property is purchased and the amount of revenue it has expected to earn in the near and long term.
Percent Rule
Ask anyone who is knowledgeable about investing in Rental Properties, and you'll probably be told of "the 1 percent rule." It's a straightforward procedure and is a great place to begin your search for the cost to purchase an apartment or property, based on your rental earnings. Make a conservative estimate of monthly rental earnings and the cost of living. Divide this number by the price of the purchase. The goal is to get an answer that is close to 0.01 or greater. For instance, if, for example, you are able to rent the property for $1,500 per month, with expenses of
$300 the net income is $1200 per month. Divide that figure by the price of purchase, for example, $120,000, and then you have 0.01 1 percent. The more you can get that number, the more favorable.
Income
The estimation of rental income can be a challenge. Your rental must be competitive with similar rental properties in the area. Learn how much similar properties nearby are renting and modify your rental to make your home more or less attractive to potential renters. For instance, if your property is equipped with a hot bath that renters can use, it could increase your rental revenue. Consider neighborhood appeal as well as proximity to schools and parking, and anything else that makes your property stand out from the rest.
Occupancy Rate
When you estimate rental revenue and expenses, make sure to take into account how many months every year your property is vacant. The rates of occupancy vary depending on the market and demographics. The rate of vacancy in a beach town could be quite different from that of an area with ski resorts. Retirement communities are different in comparison to college towns. The requirement that renters sign a lease could assist in stabilizing the occupancy however, a lease will be not much help if tenants are fired from their job.
Management
Take a look at whether you're up for managing the rental property. It's more than collecting rent every month. If you don't want to take on an unsound roof, an inefficient water heater, or a damaged window, you should consider employing a property manager. Certain real estate companies offer management of properties, typically in exchange for a proportion of monthly rent. If you choose to use a property manager, you should include this cost in your calculation. It could affect your quest at 1 percent.
