Sarouk rugs continue to be produced today, using the same methods as during early production.

How to Find Good Rental Properties

The idea of owning rental real estate seems to be gaining popularity as investors tire of the swoops and swoons of the stock market. As I pointed out in a separate column, not everyone has what it takes to be a landlord. But those who do may find rentals to be a good way to build wealth.

Once you’ve made the decision to buy rental property, your real work begins. Finding a profitable rental property usually takes time, connections and plenty of research.

Here’s what you need to know to get started:

Know your time horizon with Rental Property

As with any other investment, you should have a good idea how long you plan to own a rental property before you buy it, says Robert Cain, publisher of the Rental Property Reporter newsletter.

The longer you plan to own the property, the more you’ll probably need to invest in maintenance, repairs and improvements, Cain said.

“If you’re keeping it for 20 years, at some point you’re going to be putting a new roof on that property. You’re going to be putting in new appliances and doing some major repairs,” Cain said. If you’re only planning to own a property for five years, by contrast, you’ll probably want to avoid making any major improvements unless you’re sure you can recoup the cost with a higher sale price.

You also may face more investment risk with a shorter time horizon. Although your rental will almost certainly appreciate over 20 years, it could easily lose value in the next five, particularly if you’re buying in an overheated market. You’ll need a bigger potential annual return to make up for that risk.

Foreclosure_REO_ListingsFor many small investors, long-term ownership makes the most sense, said Pat Callahan, an attorney, landlord and founder of the American Association of Small Property Owners. You’ll have plenty of time to ride out any swings in the market, and rental income can make a nice supplement to your day job. Find enough rental properties, and being a landlord may become your day job.

Develop a network of Property Sellers and Foreclosures

Experienced landlords find their properties in a variety of ways. Some hunt for foreclosures, making friends with city hall clerks or bank employees who know which properties are about to be sold. Some run ads in local newspapers. Others work with real estate agents who keep their eyes peeled for possible buys.

Several landlords recommended joining a local landlord or property owner’s association to make contacts. Callahan’s Web site offers links to local groups, as does the National Real Estate Investors Association.

“When you begin to own rentals, all the other investors start coming out of the woodwork,” said Sean Hoppe, a landlord in Pottsville, Pa., who owns 11 properties. “Through investor meetings, networking, etc., I can find out what is for sale.”

You also can try approaching landlords directly to see if they’re willing to sell, by calling the numbers listed on rental ads in the classifieds, by cruising neighborhoods looking for “for rent” signs or by talking to any landlords you know personally.

That’s how Bob, who asked that his last name not be used, bought his rental property near Albany, N.Y. The landlord of the three-unit building where Bob had rented for 15 years was tired of the hassles and ready to sell.

“We love (the area) and jumped at the chance to buy it,” Bob said.

So far, Bob and his wife have been pleased with their purchase. They raised rents and required security deposits, which caused the property’s less desirable tenants to leave. He also has a backup plan for the building in case he starts to feel like the prior owner.

"If being a landlord got to be too big a hassle",Bob said, “we would just get rid of the tenants and make it our own place.”

Get your finances in shape. The better your credit, and the less credit card and other consumer debt you have, the better your prospects for getting a decent loan, Callahan said. Lenders usually require bigger down payments, higher interest rates and generally stronger finances when you’re buying rental property. That’s because they know people are more likely to default on investment property than they are on their own homes.

Landlords say it also pays to have a substantial cash reserve left over after buying a property.

This can help pay for unexpected repairs and vacancies. Although there are few rules of thumb, setting aside at least one month’s rent for each unit is a good start. CPA Paul Berning suggests having a line of credit, secured either by the property or your own home, to cover larger costs.

You also should make sure you can save enough for retirement and other goals before investing in rental real estate. While rental income can supplement your retirement kitty, most people shouldn’t count on it to replace other investments or allow themselves to be entirely exposed to the whims of the local real estate market. Rents and property values can fall as well as rise, and those who are adequately diversified with investments in stocks, bonds and cash will be better able to endure the bad times as well as the good.

Avoid overpaying

As one experienced landlord put it: “You make your profit when you buy a property, not when you sell it.” Pay too much, and you’ll never recoup as much as you could have had you driven a better bargain.The rental real estate market is generally tougher on investors who overpay than on homeowners who do the same thing, several landlords said. While a home is often an emotional purchase, which can lead to “I must have it!” offers and bidding wars, most landlords look strictly at the numbers to see if their investments will pay off. If you pay too much for a rental, you can’t count on a “greater fool” coming along later to bail you out.
