We have seen how that game works out before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 if the markets anything like here with properties at their highest values ever i'd be more hesitant to do this but reality with any investment property cash flow is king and there are people killing it with short term rentals.

Guest Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 OMG! What is better than logging onto your Fidelity account at night, and seeing that you've made numerous dollar bills? As compared to worrying about some stinking rental units, and all the damage, filth, non-payers, court, arguments, near-fights, etc. You have to be cut-out for being a landlord. It would never work for me. I used to store a few boats/cars in my barn. Most were OK, but some were troublesome. Gave it all up, don't need the bullshit, or worry.

Definitely have to be build a certain way for rental properties or hire professional management at which point a syndicate might be a better investment.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 27, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Couple of us went in on a property in Northern, Wi several years ago. We rent it from April 1st to December 1st and block off the winter for us to stay when sledding. It rents solid from mid June till end of August and pays for itself and them some even with the management company's cut which I feel is too high but not many choices in that area. The money is to be "made" in the week rentals as the cleaning/other costs is the same whether they are paying 2 nights or 7. We put more limits on bookings of less than 3 nights even out of "busy" season for that reason. Have to start to balance wear and tear vs. income as some point and less than 3 nights it makes it questionable. Many go about it "any income we can get" but that's not what we are in it for. We wanted a very nice place on the lake that basically paid for itself. It does that and we can take off and go sledding anytime the conditions permit. Something about having a heated garage to wake up to melted off sleds each morning. Edited July 27, 2021 by Highmark 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
