a lot of it we knew was happening, but it covers a lot of the mechanics about who and how and why

https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2021/02/wall-streets-rental-gambit/

biggest shock for me was the lowish yields. They bought a place for $208k that they also did some refurbishment in, and the asking rental price when it was finished was only $1575

considering expenses and all that, seems like not a great return

Assuming 65% NOI margin it’s a 5.91% cap. With rent growth and big compression from rolling these up that’s fine.

Rental housing has been yielding a return of ~4% since 2005ish. It's been a shit investment v. stocks for over 15 years now. It only made sense relative to bonds. This is why there is a shortage of entry level housing in the first place. Its not where you want to put your money.

If the property value merely keeps up with inflation, and your income merely covers all your expenses and nothing more, if you are leveraged, you are going to make a great return.

In reality, in the past 10 years, property values have gone up a fuckload, and these people have made an absolute f****** killing

How the numbers play out exactly depends a lot on the market. But generally speaking what these investors will do, is get a 10-year interest only loan, with very low monthly payments, and with something like 20% down. They will be cash flowing well because of the interest only payments and also getting back all of the appreciation. And in the past 10 years or so, they've been refinancing these every 2 to 5 years.

Doesn’t sound that profitable. Interest will still be fairly high.

Would love to see a calculation showing otherwise. But my guess is best case you are getting 8% when all I said and done.

It’s done well recently because housing prices have gone up so much. Dumb to think that’s definite in the future.

I'm telling you, with 100% certainty, that this is how sophisticated real estate investors do it, at least in big cities. this isn't a discussion, I'm telling you exactly how the most sophisticated people who make the most amount of money do this. if you can't figure out the numbers, that's your problem. But this is how it is done, and, at least in the recent past, it has been extremely extremely extremely profitable.

I’m not arguing that that’s not how they do it.

I’m saying it’s just not any better than the stock market unless it’s a big company (relatively) with tons of efficiencies,

It’s a stupid investment for an xo poaster.

And yes it’s been extremely profitable recently. But 10-15 years ago they all went bankrupt.

TCR. You cant assume values will keep appreciating. I fully understand the play on leverage but the reality is rents havent tracked up with purchase price appreciation. When the rent roll returns 4-5% -- that's a shit investment.

Not true at all. I own two rental condos that I've made an absolute killing on using this strategy, but the only exception being that I don't have interest only loans on them. And even if rents go down so I'm not cash flowing at all, and as long as the value keeps up with inflation, because I'm leveraged I will make way better returns than the stock market. as of now I've made insanely better returns than the stock market. Not even close, and that's with the stock market booming over the same time period

You won’t admit it here but you’ve only made a killing because the value has gone up dramatically.

No one investing now should plan on that.

People like you lost it all in 2008

It's true that the outrageous returns I've got him are only because the value boomed. However even if the value merely keeps up with inflation, as long as you're not cash flow negative, you will make a good if not great return.

The basic math is simple.

If you are covering your costs with your cash flow, and you are leveraged, with let's call it 20% down, your return will be 5x whatever the inflation is.

And in reality, it's probably safe to assume, that even if housing values don't keep booming, they will at least keep up with inflation. That might not be true in our country. But it's a pretty safe bet in good areas.

What you don’t factor is that if housing prices dropped by 10% you’d lose 50% of your investment.

Retarded not to take that into account.

Leverage is great until you have to go bankrupt

My understanding from having a bunch of uncles in this business is that most developers investing in single family are not even going to banks -- too much risk. The mom and pop developer who does lets say ~6 units a year is mostly doing it out of pocket. If he needs to pay any interest at all his margins are so thin as to not make it worth it at all.
