Jared Smith Should we keep our home as a rental
14 November 2024 | 25 replies
Thanks,JaredI'd only pursue this if there is an big upside for appreciation, or if you planned on keeping the house forever as a rental.Run the numbers, subtract 15% a year for vacancy and on going maintenance and repairs during each year, subtract 15% per year for maintenance and repairs to get it market ready once you decide to sell it.Example if you were to keep it for 5 years and sell at the end of five years:12x$200=$2400 year gross profit15% for vacancy, maintenance, repairs ($-360.00 per year)= $2040 gross profit per year15% set aside to repair, repaint, replace to get ready to sell on market = $1800 $7000-$8000 net for 5 years of rental.Appreciation over the term you would keep it would be the only incentive, and it could be a big reason why to rent it.

13 November 2024 | 8 replies
Being clear about what’s covered in the lease and by local laws can avoid misunderstandings and set their realistic expectations.If you do plan to carry out the cosmetic upgrades (because the property is overdue and of course you want to ensure your tenants are enjoying their home to the best of your abilities), try to schedule the repairs at times that minimize disruption.
