Math:- 4 bed, ~2000 sq ft, ~5000+ sq ft lot, good schools 6+, 1990+- 630-670k asking price- property tax 1.3-1.6%, mortgage 3.2%- after running some numbers, it gives me 3.3k-3.6k per month to own (mortgage, insurance, property tax, sometimes HOA, not counting utilities and maintenance) - rents in the area are closer to 3k tho, but everything goes within a week or two, so I bet if you are patient, you could rent it with cashflow (saw couple houses that went on Zillow for rent 3d after closing and were rented out with cashflow after 7d)So there is this upper limit of ~700k above which owning costs are way higher than avg rent (for same reason locations inside Bay do not make sense, I think).

Taxes are estimated at $270, HOA $100, and insurance $150 monthly.

**Tenant must followall HOA guidelines.

Hi all! I'm new to this landlord thing and wanted to know how to handle my situation. I currently advertise my rental property across several platforms, however, I currently have a couple who is undergoing the homeown...

Some things you can do is charge a flat rate and cover the difference or call the utility company and get a 12 month average and make that a part of the rents.3: Personally I don't believe in furnishing or supplying anything for my rentals because my market simply doesn't call for it.4: Depending on your area and what the replacement cost for that building is, inflation can effect your policy differently, for this one I would call your provider and ask.5: Common areas much like an HOA would charge, put a common element/area clause in the lease stating the tenant is responsible for a percentage of costs for upkeep of common areas.6: This may depend on state laws, but I would look into if your area requires ADA compliant signage but if you wanted to put a no smoking sign so long as it's stipulated in the lease then it's your call.7: You can't always do much about guests so long as they don't stay indefinitely or cause a danger to other tenants.

Or Househack and rent out rooms in your current home, if allowed by the HOA to pay your mortgage for you.

HOA dues or whatever they call them are something like 2000+ a week/year. 

The HOA rule states, that lots are for residential use only?

Municipalities and HOAs can fine you fir the most stupid things.

I went and used many of the methods and found HOA back dues, court cases for the property, past due taxes (there weren't any), etc.
