It's been more than 45 days since the multiple property owner emailed me to sell his residential income houses.
He at the time said he needed a quick sale. Four offers later, he hadn't accepted any.
Then, he let slip he was refinancing them. Sigh! What a waste of time.
Or, so I thought.
But it hasn't been time wasted. That's because I do my best to make lemonade out of lemons.
I would add some sugar because lemonade can be acidic.
Since I have marketed these properties, I have come across several investors still searching Las Vegas for properties.
Even a Hollywood Comedy Club owner called me. Okay, we'll see how that goes.
Anyway, the last investor looking questioned the higher than normal income for several of the properties.
He actually hit the situation on the head with: "Are these properties where the tenants are renting rooms?"
Yes!
He said he's been down that path before and it usually doesn't end well.
You see, in Las Vegas, as is many other urban cities around the nation, Landlords of SFR's or small multiple unit buildings, find that they can rent out a bedroom with the hall bath and kitchen being a "common area" for more money by the bedroom.
My owner client went one better: He'd install a wall blocking off the living room and make that another bedroom. More money!
Of course the bedroom with the attached bathroom paid the most monthly rent.
But, even in my middle class neighborhood, there are several houses that I know (no proof) are being leased out in this manner.
Is it legal? NO!
But, they do it anyway.
It's because instead of getting $900 or $1,200 per month for the 2 bed 2 bath property.
They get $500 per month per bedroom - and more for the bedrooms with the 'private bath!'
Sounds like a money making deal, right?
Well, I wouldn't rent there. But, that's just me.
So, cash buyers! Interested in earning +/-$170,000 per year owning a few multi-tenant properties?
Just remember: You will have to be a cash buyer for this.
