Resolve to Increase Your Wealth With Income Property

What is Income Property?

Typically, income property refers to real estate that an owner purchases with the intention of getting revenue from it in the form of rent from tenants.

In other words, the owner buys the property not to live in it, but to rent it out to others at a profit.

How the Math Works

On the expense side, the owner is responsible for paying the mortgage, some or all of the utilities, HOA fees, and property taxes.

Additionally, owners are obliged to maintain the property in good condition – appliances, fixtures, infrastructure, landscape, finish surfaces, and more will incur upkeep costs. On the income side is the application fees, rent, deposits, and potentially late fees paid by tenants.

Profitability – not surprisingly – means that the owner takes in income that is greater than expenses.

…and now it gets complicated

Many new landlords are not aware about variables that can impact how much it costs to keep a property rented out and maintained in good condition. Some of the negative impacts include criminal acts, lengthy vacancies, poorly done maintenance and repairs, late rent payments, and weather-related damage.

It’s not uncommon for inexperienced investment property owners to lose money on the venture. This is why you need an experienced Colorado Springs property manager to manage your rental properties.
