Title: Buying Rental Property and Becoming a Landlord
1Buying Rental Property and Becoming a Landlord
- Do you dream of owning property? Perhaps multiple
investment properties from which to earn a
monthly stream of income? - But before you contact your real estate agent,
consider whats really involved. If you want to
create an income immediately, youll need to rent
your property.
2Start Up Capital
- All potential landlords consider the cost of
purchasing an investment property, but many
overlook the costs to remodel. In other words,
dont expect start-up costs to end at the closing.
3Making Repairs
- When it comes to being a landlord, two things in
life are inevitable death and repairs. Dont
even consider a property management
business unless youre sure that you can pay for
repairs. Landlord and tenant laws require that
you make serious repairs quickly.
4Collecting Rent
- Youll have great tenants who pay the rent on
time every month. Youll have good tenants who
slip up from time to time but always let you know
ahead of time when to expect the rent. And then
youll have the tenants that dont pay and dont
call. As a landlord, youre going to have to play
bill collector from time to time.
5 Dealing with Problem Tenants
- Most of your tenants will pay the rent, treat the
property like their own, and keep the neighbors
happy. But at some point, youll inevitably have
a problem tenant.
6Paying Taxes
- One thing you cant overlook is taxes. Renting
property is your business and so youll have to
report the income you earn when you file your
taxes every year. But one tax commonly overlooked
is property tax. If you own the home you live in
plus one rental house, your property tax bill
could be double what you were paying before you
purchased the rental.
