Rental Property Units - Know your local market and price accordingly and keep a log book of the area!

Thank you for the great idea driving around the area to get a good idea of what rental units go for. It's not very accurate going on-line or what's in the newspaper to see what the rental units go for all the time. I have also notice a great deal more rental signs on the west coast. So it only goes to shows you must take advantage of all the resources to get the rental units rented fast.

Hi Joe,

I'm noticing alot more rentals in my area also. I see alot of for sale by owners converting to rentals also. Could this be any better of a signal? Could these be homeowner's Who couldn't sell and need our help? What's your take on this? Continued success..........Lubertha

Hi Lubertha,

Why dont you go and talk to the homeowners and make a small talk and say I noticed that your property was forsale one time and now you are trying to rent it out. Obviously, the owners can't sell and have to find another way to pay their expenses. Maybe you can work out a deal and say let me buy your house and give me 30 to 60 days so I can find a buyer with lease with option to buy and you can make a big profit that way. Good luck !!

God Bless !!

Thanks for your reply and comments. It is so true how an area can change with rentals rate amounts. You want to ensure your rental rates are at or a little below market based on the age, condition and the ementities your unit may offer. The quicker you rent it, the more cash flow in your pocket. Good luck on your rentals. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

I believe you touched on a golden opportunity. Whenever I see a "or Rent" and a "For Sale" sign, I think there may be a great opportunity for a flexible seller. Thus, when you see this take action and talk to the seller, you may have just found your next deal! Good luck, Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Thanks for your thoughts. I believe this is a great idea and it gives you another potential option for a deal. I always say, the worst they can say is no, and you don't know if you don't ask! Good luck on your deals. Believe and Achieve. - Joe

Thanks for the information and link. I am so happy that each day I learn more than the prvious day. I believe this information will help many DG students. Thanks again and good luck on your deals. Believe and Achieve! - Joe
