Rental Market Demand info

Profile picture for Skyline101

Hello all.  

 

I am interested in purchasing a house in rio vista, ca (trilogy at rio vista community) intended to have it rent out. But, I want to know what is the rental demand in that area.

 

Are there any sites that I can go to find out the demand for rentals in that area?

 

Thanks

i hate to be rude, but to be honest, you haven't done the first bit of the research you need to be in the investor/landlord business. Do yourself a favor and don't do it...

 

here is the first hint: we professionals don't A. decide to buy something, then B. see what it would rent for.  We do B before A.  anyplace I was thinking of looking, I would know the realistic rental rates long before I bothered to consider buying...

Rule of thumb: Monthly rent should be 1% of the market price to purchase the house.  Otherwise, you're not an investor.  You're a speculator.

 

Investors make monthly cash flow.

 

Speculators hope they can sell it to a bigger fool.
