Consider Lease/Options for investment return.

Investors, who have read our posts think our method of increasing rental property income is fantastic, and contact us regularly. Many tell us that they can’t quite swing all the costs associated with buying, remodeling and furnishing a home. However, they could handle the nominal down payment a rent-to-own listing would require and would be able to furnish and equip it.

It’s important for first time readers of our posts to understand that we promote creating alternative housing.  This type of rental property maximizes the full potential of a dwelling, by letting individual furnished rooms on a weekly or monthly basis in a shared living environment, similar to a rooming house, but with a unique tenant population.

Tenants pay from $400 to $450 per month for a private bedroom and $350 to $400 a month for a bed in a shared (semi-private room). On average, the sum of the total rents collected FAR exceed market rents, or lease/option payments.

If the seller will allow you to sublet the property then it’s a no brainer. You could pocket, $700 to $1000 or more, in net income per dwelling, with very little investment.1630

Let’s say your investment to gain control of the property and furnish it is only $5,000. And you earned $700 a month on that investment. Would that make you $8,400 a year on your $5,000 investment? Sure there is property management time involved, but once you are up and running – it’s not as much as you might think.

It’s still a hell of a deal!
