Rental properties can be extremely profitable in any economy. The advantages should be obvious. To name a few, monthly cash flow, appreciation in value for a long term investment, and with the uncertainty of the economy and people losing their home to foreclosures many new properties are on the market at a reduced rate and many more people are turning to renting as the only option.

If you are considering rentals as an option for your portfolio now is an ideal time to do so. Armed with the right knowledge of how to succeed with rentals you can positioned to profit from the current economic condition. In fact you can do so wildly and becoming wealthy in the process. Imagine recurring monthly income from stable long term tenants.

What is needed is the willingness to take the risk involved in purchasing any property for a rental. Of course it must be an informed risk and it must be strategic in terms of location and where you will find the best possible renters and where your property value will increase. This may take some time and effort to research but there are many opportunities where a strategic financial decision involving good sound judgement can be made.

Many people are reluctant to buy any properties right now due to all the fear and uncertainty surrounding our economy. Others are seeking the opportunity that exists due to the new conditions that have surfaced because of the housing market collapse. If you are one of the ones who are fearful or uncertain the best advice I could offer is to look closely and in detail at the advantages of rental properties.

Once you have decided that you are want to benefit from the revenue and cash flow of rental properties there are three specific ways that you can make your properties extremely profitable.

1.) Quality management: The more you are able to care for the properties and invest in their upkeep, with both the short term and long term in mind the more profitable they will become. Some owners defer upkeep to down the road and unfortunately it reflects on the quality of the management and the long term value of the property.

2.) Location and Quality of Tenants: Depending on where the rental property is located will determine the quality of renters and the price that can be charged per occupant. Obviously the goal is to have long term occupants paying a premium for a quality rental. This will maximize your return on investment and increase your cash flow monthly.

3.) Attention To Tenant Retention: To keep your tenants they in essence must be viewed as your assets and therefore treating them and their needs and requests with the highest priority. Many property owners neglect their tenants and do not serve them or their needs. This will only lead to high vacancy rates which will impact your monthly cash flow among other problems.

You can maximize your income and monthly cash flow through rental properties with little or no headache. Now is the time to begin to learn, research and begin the process of crunching numbers in order to make informed decisions about the best possible locations and properties to acquire. dbrtown

Wow Randy, you're definitely right, it's funny because my family and I have been doing all those things for the past few years and never realized we were actually doing it.

As I look back when we lost money in Michigan, it was because we didn't have those 3 things in place. The remainder definitely helps.
