Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good target ROI for rental properties?
Most landlords aim for 6-10% ROI. Higher ROIs indicate higher risk but potentially higher returns. Consider your market conditions and investment goals when setting your target.
Should I price above or below market rates?
It depends on your strategy. Pricing slightly below market can help you find tenants quickly and reduce vacancy. Pricing at or above market works if your property offers superior features or location.
How often should I review and adjust rent?
Review rent annually, typically when renewing leases. Consider market changes, property improvements, and inflation. Some markets allow for more frequent adjustments.
What if the calculated rent is too high for my market?
If the calculated rent exceeds market rates, you may need to adjust your ROI expectations, reduce expenses, or consider if the property is a good investment for your goals.
