I'm thinking of buying a rental property for extra income but I cannot think of why anyone would spend $1500+ on renting a house and get absolutely no return.

How does that even make sense?

Not buying now, but I would be buying in the future.

It just seems like the whole of renting makes no sense, so how is it sustainable.

Are people really okay with throwing away18k a year and get absolutely nothing for it?

When choosing to buy and rent you have to look at unrecoverable costs.
In most cases it is better to rent, if we're speaking exclusively in financial terms.
With renting, your unrecoverable costs are the rent and the electricity bills (and sometimes gas and water).
With buying a house your unrecoverable costs are the mortgage interest, council rates, water rates, strata levy's, and other expenses.
The recoverable costs in the house is the equity. But that is the most illiquid asset in the world.

Owning a house is significantly more work than renting it. If you don't plan on living in the house for 10+ years or using it to make money then there is no reason to buy.

You also clearly don't know any poor people, or have any idea what they're like so enjoy dealing with tenants who fuck your shit up and don't pay rent on time.

Ok, I'm in Austin, TX. A decent house is 300-400k.

Property tax for that comes to more than what I pay in rent. For a lonely dude, who doesn't care much about the school district or having a larger house it just doesn't make sense.

You may say that it will appreciate in value, but I'd rather invest the money for better returns. I may move to somewhere else next year anyway. House is not a good investment.

Don’t listen to these poor cucks OP.
3.5% down payment on first time home buyer. 7k for 200k house. Rent out house and profit 200 a month. Oh look after 5 years the 200k house is now worth 250k and you now have 15% equity. Sell house for 250k so you profit 50k and you gained equity on the way. These poor cucks have no idea how to make money that’s why I have 40 million sidelined

Are you 12 years old? Renters are typically low income, bad with money, or temporary living. Most of the time it’s low income and terrible with money people, so that’s who you’ll be dealing with. Even people with decent jobs can’t even save 5% to put down on a house to begin with. Go commercial.

i wouldn't buy now. might as well wait to see if we hit a recession and housing prices come down.

why do people rent? lots of reasons. they want to live in an area where housing prices are incredibly high. they aren't planning on staying in the area long term and don't want to have to deal with the hassle of trying to sell a house. they don't want to have to deal with property taxes and maintenance.

houses are incredibly overpriced and it's kind of ridiculous that we're expected to pay $500k for the same house our parents bought for $100k 25 years ago or whatever.

Renting out single family homes is a tricky business for this reason. Typically the renters you do get are more stable though.

Most landlords deal in multiplexes.

Buying a property in a nice area is far too expensive. So I rent in a nice area and when shit hits the fan, like right now I don’t pay rent. If my LL attempts to evict me in the future for past due rent I’ll just move apartments. It’s good to be a tendie.

I don't get this, how would you not be allowed to turn down nuggers or literally anyone you don't want? I rented a few different times and I always had toeet with the property owners (or manager in one case out of the three) and they asked for so many things and wanted to talk like I was applying to be part of a top secret team that it doesn't make sense to me how you couldn't just be like 'oh sorry but someone else who applied first has submitted everything to rent the property' or whatever

Seriously this, by well managed REITs. You will have so many more reasons to wake up in a bad mood as a "small business" owner.

Also the amount of cash flow and leveraging required to get the proper management team in the first place isn't something you want to get caught up in unless you are actually rich.

Bullshit I rent several properties and my landlords love me. I use one to store the products, another to store the cash, and I sleep in one mostly. that's not including my storage units.

Yeah I used to be bad with money and my credit score is mid 400s but I have plenty of cash but nobody will sell you a house for cash anymore. Hard enough to get a car, they try to run your credit before you pull out the bankroll.
