Looking for a quick way to screen a potential rental property?
The 1% rule compares a propertyโs expected monthly rent to its purchase price. For example, a $200,000 property would ideally generate around $2,000 per month in rent to meet the rule.
But remember: the 1% rule is only a starting point. Taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancies, financing costs, and other expenses all matter when evaluating a deal.
๐ก Use quick rules to narrow your optionsโthen run the full numbers before you invest.
