Hello,

I have a 4 bed 2 bath unit in Van nuys, California with brand new kitchen that is available. Is anyone interested in doing rental arbitrage? And or what would be the best strategy for a unit like this in the area? Medium term rental? Thanks

Hello,

Hello,

Is there anyone doing rental arbitrage in Los Angeles?  If so how has it been/what’s it like? Is it possible to do with Rent control?

how do I do a deal analysis?

It is in the middle of 3 big hospitals in Los Angeles anywhere from 8-15 minute drive. 2-5 miles away.

Hello,

i was wondering if it is worth switching from long term rental to medium term rental. I have a 3 units so doing one long term and possibly making one unit medium term. As I start to calculate adding utilities, internet, etc, I’m not sure I’m actually making more. For example, if a two bedroom rents long term for 2900 and tenant pays utilities  but if a tenant pays 3400 (maybe) for a medium term rental including utilities, It comes to about the same return but more turn over. Is it worth doing medium term? And is it minimum 30 days or 31 days for month to month for rent control/rso?

Hello,

has anyone had any experience having a management company manage short term rentals in the Los Angeles area and if not how is it in the area you are in? Is the air bnb market slowing down? Would it be profitable to air bnb a 3 or 4 bedroom or a 2 bedroom house? If the house is considered owner occupied does rent control apply? 

Hello,

Was curious how a short term rental would perform if it’s on a busy street. I’ve looked on air dna for the estimate amount per month and it seems pretty high which is good, but I’m wondering if that amount is based off a home on a quiet street or does air dna take note of that if that makes sense? Thanks!

Hello

with the many websites out there to use for tenant screening and property management, what is the best one to use to manage up to 4 units or if you don’t have that many units?

would it be Rent spree? Rent prep? Buildium? Avail? Maybe there’s another site that I didn’t list that would be better? Pros and cons to each? 

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip!

do you find it’s easier to rent out a 3 bedroom house than a 4 bedroom?
