When I rent a property, I tell the tenants that I do a 3 to 5 percent annual cost of living increase of rents based on the current market. This way they know ahead of time and no one is blind sided.

Thank you for the great interview and information. My first implementable take away is learning section 8 amounts are published. Second, the binder method will be very helpful. I have bought a few properties with long term tenants (32 years for one) where the previous landlord never raised the rent. I want to keep the tenants as long as I can, but the rent is 1/3 of market value. The binder method will help me educate the tenant and get a fair market rate for the unit.

Awesome video! I might try this binder method, it has a more professional feel then how I have been doing it. I just purchased a duplex two months ago. Both side were paying $675, and market rent is around $1,200. In NYS if a tenant has lived there for more then 2 years you have to give them a 90 day notice to increase rent, and both tenant were there for multiple years. I wrote them a letter last week and explained that If they move out I will be updating the unit and renting it for $1,200. I told them I was setting rent at $1,000 if they want to stay, effective in 90 days, but if they signed my lease now then Rent would be $900 effective next month. Both tenants were a little bummed, but they both hopped on signing the lease now because they know its still a good deal. Now every year going forward they will get a little rent increase until closer to Market rent, and my deal is now cash flowing!

I put it in the lease that the rent will increase a minimum of 2.5% /yr and must be initialed. That way everyone knows in advance. It’s nobody’s business where the number comes from, that might raise too many questions or debate. I keep my properties in good repair. If you’re suddenly going up multiple hundreds of dollars, that’s a landlord that waited too long to raise rent.
@JC-qu7iw
@JC-qu7iw 4 ай бұрын
I'm sure 2.5% is not a random number you chose. This number is also the FED inflation target they try to achieve per year. That's a good strategy on your end and one I've been using myself.

@Liialy

I can definitely vouch from the tennant end you're always thinking about being bought up and priced out. The largest issue is that home values go up and livable stock does not. At a medium income you can't beat the investors, you can't afford the flips, and the higher the montages get the more rents go up. Its a rock and a hard place situation. And half of it isn’t even in the landlord's control. Aging rentals need maintenance and repairs that are expensive. If cities would eat the cost to remove decaying and unlivable housing at least there'd be space to build more housing.

@CoachChadCarson
@CoachChadCarson Ай бұрын
my understanding is he does it in a similar way. But I'm not 100% sure. With my college rentals, which usually have a turnover every year or two, I just adjust up inbetween tenants. But with normal rentals, I try to adjust up every couple of years while still staying slightly below market rent.

I would think you'd have to meet those laws. But @diontalkfinancialfreedom might be able to say more. I know many people in California have to pay cash for keys to existing tenants. Or just use that challenge to negotiate with the existing owners.
@DionTalkFinancialFreedom
@DionTalkFinancialFreedom 4 ай бұрын
Know the local laws. Example: in CA. Single family homes or duplex in your name is not rent controlled. (In a LLC it is) In Oregon a house hacked small multifamily is not rent controlled. And if you have rent control I use the binder to explain why I’m doing the maximum allowable increase and keep tenants happy.
@carolynroberts2924
@carolynroberts2924 3 ай бұрын
I will double check. I hope I'm wrong, but I believe duplexes are under rent control in CA. I read in the bill that if a parcel has more than one unit it's under rent control unless it's a duplex where the owner has lived in one side since the tenant moved in. I hope you're right, though, because I have 3 duplexes and would love to use your binder approach since 2 of my renters are at 50% of market rate. Great show! I always tell my tenants if they would only watch your show they wouldn't need me.

Normally I do 5% every other year. But I use the binder strategy once after closing on a new property. I did it again in 2021 because of the pandemic. And again in 2024 because rent control was threatened in my state. But usually after doing the strategy once I tell the tenants we will do 5% every other year.

There are a few reasons why I make what I do. First. I don’t recycle capital. No heloc. No cash out refinance. No sale for 1031. Second I invest in a HCOL area. I retired in 2022. With 16 units on 7 properties. Profit (not income. Actual profit after PITI, and setting aside for repairs and vacancy) was 204k. Since then I added another duplex and increased cash flow. A lot of people want to invest where properties are cheaper. Making a larger portfolio more likely if that person wants cash flow like mine.

I agree that the strategy is fair to the tenants, however, leaving $200 a month on the table doesn’t make sense when it would cost less than $10,000 to turn the unit and get market rent.
@a104917
@a104917 4 ай бұрын
It makes sense if you push for the extra 200 and the spiteful tenant trashes your place and disappears. Or calls your bluff and decides to not pay anything and force eviction. Like Dion said, this is about treating your tenant like a human and inviting them to participate in the process.
@DionTalkFinancialFreedom

The trade off is the time of t takes to rehab the unit. The 8-10k spent and displacing a tenant. I buy properties that don’t make sense at current rents. But do make sense but under area average rents.

Helping to solve housing undersupply and raising rents annually are opposed to each other. You should know this so you don't confuse the viewers into thinking that you are actually helping the market. When in fact it is the opposite. Way too much scamming in the housing market, many are unable to tell because these scams come with a smile plus a side of value. However the value offered is 'how to scam others better so that they agree to be scammed repeatedly on a monthly basis or better yet a yearly basis' Lesson here is do not get into housing investments if you have to use a mortgage because a mortgage itself is a scam
