In real life I've never heard of anyone ever raising the rent in my experience. I've spoken to other landlords (property owners) and they always wait until a new tenant comes in for fear that if they raise the rent now their tenants might leave. Can you please do a post on how to determine if we should raise the rates, the best way to do it in avoiding such an outcome? I always hear the term.. rents are rising.

And thanks for the prompt reply. One last question: for the 20% down, 3-7% yield scenario, does that include paying someone else to do property management? Makes sense, thanks!

If you're investing in west coast real estate you'll be putting 30-40% down to break even. FAIL. Still, there are a few regions offering modest cash-on-cash yields. Boise, a handful of areas in Texas, Kansas City (but harder to find for sure), and 2-3 others. Modest cash flow using 20% down might be 3-7%, most fallin' in the low to mid range. Of course, in many of those areas the rents have risen the last year, an anomalous event compared to most of the country. It means the cash flow part of your return will, more likely than not, increase over time, as opposed to most other regions where rents are feelin' the pinch of headin' down the supply & demand highway in the wrong direction. Bottom line? As long as the property is paying for itself, plus a little, you're good to go -- assuming a capital growth agenda and sufficient Sominex Account. The rule is don't kid yourself about the numbers Make sense? Don't be a stranger, OK? Hey Stan — That’s a whole different post, but here’s the short answer.

Modest cash flow using 20% down might be 3-7%, most fallin’ in the low to mid range. Of course, in many of those areas the rents have risen the last year, an anomalous event compared to most of the country. It means the cash flow part of your return will, more likely than not, increase over time, as opposed to most other regions where rents are feelin’ the pinch of headin’ down the supply & demand highway in the wrong direction.

Make sense?

Don’t be a stranger, OK?

Thanks. I understand the point you’re making, but what can an investor (focused on capital growth) reasonably expect with regard to cash-on-cash yield? Thanks.
