Episode 58: The Hidden Costs of Owning and Operating Rental Properties

Listen On:

So, the one thing that everyone needs to realize is that how we own and operate OUR rental property business may differ from YOUR way of doing things.  I know, crazy, right?

The thing is that the kind of rental that you prefer, be it single family home or large multifamily complexes and the location of those, be it out of state or right in your backyard, and the condition of those, be it run down with a ton of added value or with everything in place so all you have to do is step in and run it…all makes a huge difference on what your expenses will be.

HOWEVER, there are a bunch of expenses that some landlords, us included, might forget to consider when evaluating a new property or maybe even when making a change to an existing one.

Those hidden expenses are what this episode is all about. Give it a listen to learn what you might have to prepare for.
