User ID: 80558193 United States 10/25/2021 01:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had ketchup on an upstairs bedroom ceiling. Shit shoved down my toilet. Chicken grease so thick on my kitchen cabinets that it softened the wood. One dude punched a hole through my living room wall into my garage, about a 2x2 square. I have no idea why. Kicked in doors, appliances, cabinet doors ripped off, and new flooring and paint. My favorite would be the dude who put a filter way too small in my furnace and then lived there until the furnace burned up. Same filter. Renting is a nightmare. Sorry. Wish I could say otherwise. Stay clear of section 8 if you do rent. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79715453 United States 10/25/2021 01:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What do you need to have in order to rent out properties? Can you make a good living off of it nowadays or would I probably just barely scrape by or even go into the negatives. I want to buy a small trailer court in the next 3-5 years or some fix n flip properties if the housing market and everything else doesn’t crash by then. I’ve always wanted to fix and rent stuff out to add some extra income. I know you might be thinking I’m crazy in today’s world but I don’t want to quit on my dreams Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80009983 Take my advice - find a different way of making money. It is frustration from hell. The people of today are not like they were even a couple of decades ago. If you get a booger tenant they will completely destroy you. Even if you get a great tenant the profit margins aren't astronomical. What you will actually end up getting is a mixture of good (20%) - mediocre (50%) - and horrific (30%). It simply isn't worth it you have too many people intentionally wrecking your property and giving you the dog ate my homework excuses every month when the rent is due. Too many think that you are a 1%'er because you hustled and bought a property and they haven't managed to do so because they spend their money on frivolities like phones pot and videogames and yet they resent you for it like it is your fault. If you are just dying to play russian roulette with being a landlord put the renters in a house that has a maximum of 5-10 years before you plan to remodel anyway - don't put them in a real nice house they'll just wreck it. I mean make sure things are clean and all work and stuff, but don't fix it up tip top shape and put a renter in there because the floors will all be wrecked, the kids will have drawn all over the walls, carpets destroyed, etc.You end up basically doing a mini-rebuild every time you have a tenant change. And then apparently the CDC and other government agencies can now apparently make laws forbidding you from collecting rent it turns out. The next flu bug you might not be able to collect rent for 2 years as your tenant squats there for free how nice. That is my advice. Tons more downside to it I could go on for pages and pages. |

User ID: 24625847 United States 10/25/2021 01:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm selling my house to a family who are selling theirs at the end of this month. And some time after the New Year I'm moving down to Florida to buy a really nice house somewhere between Tampa & Orlando. I'm going to paint every room with an amazing mural or luxurious high end faux finish. While I'm painting it and working on it, I will rent it out and manage it myself as an Airbnb. Then when I'm finished I will hand it over to a rental company to manage it for me. I figure the higher cost market will keep out the degenerates that would damage or destroy it. |

User ID: 79344040 United States 10/25/2021 02:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had a friend who made a good living off of quadraplexes, or buildings with four apartments. He had three renters and was fixing/updating the fourth apartment. He always had income unless he only had two renters. Then he was in trouble. I’m sure he’s a millionaire by now. The thing is, he worked all the time. No rest. Something broke he had to fix it or find someone that could fix it. He wouldn’t own properties in some states where he couldn’t evict someone for not paying rent. Edit: Starting a business right now will be especially challenging, with the Democrats spending like drunken sailors inflation is going up like crazy. You will be lucky to get ahead of the inflation, it might take you years if ever. Run the numbers, do the math. If you can’t do the math you shouldn’t be a landlord or even run a business.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81044875 United States 10/25/2021 02:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | in the northeast, right now is really hard to find a good airbnb....my friend had 5 kids; now all moved out; she was about to sell her home cause she couldn't make the payments, but then she turned the rooms into airbnb, and literally, the moment one becomes available, they get snapped. Here is the trick---there are forums on facebook where healthcare workers are looking for rooms, and she posts there, and she gets "tenants" that are responsible and pay their rent. She tried it with students, but that didn't go so well; i think the idea is to be in a market where there is an influx of healthcare workers and cater to them. |
