A couple years ago, I was playing around with some tools to create online tutorials. Just as a test, I created a video that discussed the “50% Rule,” which is a rule of thumb often used for quick and dirty analysis of potential rental property deals.
While I never planned to make the video public (it wasn’t very polished), I’ve gotten some good feedback on it, so I thought I would post it for anyone who was interested in learning more about the 50% Rule and how it’s used:
Enjoy!
Great explanation of all the costs included in the 50% rule. I think it’s interesting that you included some overhead expenses as well. Do you think this means that your cost per unit will decline as you acquire more units?
Good tutorial. This was a new perspective form me. Always good to learn new things from good bloggers.
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Great Video! The 50% rule is an excellent tool to use to investigate weather a property is a good candidate for purchasing. I have done deals that have been above this mark and found that the closer it is to the 50% rule the safer it is. You do take on a little more risk if the subject property is a little above it say 60% or so but I have been successfull even at these turnovers.
