I pay $1700 a month

I charge that same amount for my rental that is two blocks from the beach. 1600sft with a garage. The unit next to me just sold for 1.4 million. I highly doubt I’m contributing to the problem.

I also offer my tenants the option to buy the properties they live in but the property will be owner financed with the condition that it is appraised at time of “sale” and second sale gain is split with equity position. Again I’m only looking to make 7% return on my investment inflation adjusted. If they want out and they bought, I get the upside on market rate (with whatever equity position I hold). But the tenant at least keep whatever equity they grew and they get upside on their equity position.

None of my tenants have taken the deal. I think it’s more than fair.

I listened to an interesting take on her on a podcast. Basically they think she is looking beyond Trump and the void if and when he is out of office and she is positioning herself to be the tell it how it is candidate.

If anything it is refreshing to see people be critical of promise and true outcome.

This is what I have learned from all of this. Trump has exposed the one lever where there is no checks or balances. He found a sharp machete when he went looking for pruning shears.

If they pay taxes and don’t do crime I don’t really care who they are or where they are from.

Everyone paints landlords as money grubbing evil people. I own a couple rental houses and set prices so that my return is 7% annually. While that may paint me as the description above realize this; that price was set when I set a tenant and only increases with inflation. The majority of my units are 25% below market rates because once I have a good tenant I don’t see a reason to make more work for me. 7% return and I never hear from them is worth it in my mind.
