Market rents plus a %premium?

Also, I'm wondering if the premium a Prop Management company charges could make this even better than with your primary residence. 

Will the premium cover those?

I can help you crunch the numbers.The thing about investing in the USA is that you are laying a 30% premium due to exchange rate.And you need to put more cash down.  

Is there usually a premium paid above what market rent is , or is there a profit sharing type of model used ?

However, would anyone consider a month-to-month with an added premium of 5% rent increase? 

In the end I decided to wait until our market slows down and start buying the units all the suckers bought at the premium price tag.

Since my kids have gone to college, I don't have to pay the premium of a great school district (such as Pleasanton) and may be able to wait out the time Hayward requires to catch up.

It's all about supply and demand, and currently there is way less supply than demand.Further, if you end up buying one of these through Hubzu or something (quite common), be prepared to pay a 4.5% buyer premium on top of your purchase price.

That takes care of monitor & computer all in one, and if space is really at a premium you can use the dining room or kitchen table as your office desk - which I did for many years, only recently finally dedicating an office in the house.3.
