I am debating buying a 3bedroom 2 bath house in stockton to use as a rental property. With all fees ect I would need about 700 month to cover mortgage property taxes and insurance. Rentals on 3-2's are around the 1250-1450 range. Just to insure I get a renter I would be willing to rent the place for a 1000 a month plus utilities.

My question: Is there actually high enough demand in stcokton right now for rental properties that I wont be paying for the house to be vacant for a year plus?

Thanks for any insight.

Eric

YES Definitely, depends on the area actually. I have 2 rental properties there as well. One in the Brookside area and another in the Lincoln area. Are you going through a property manager? If so I can recommend a good one that is handling my properties.

Definitely
As N8 said, location, location, location
North Stockton is about the only area I would consider, if you have an area in mind between N8 and I we should be able to give you some insight as to the area.
I am at North edge of town, very quiet, great neighborhood.

I was thinking something like this

http://www.trulia.com/property/3030469709-1722-Benedino-Cir-Stockton-CA-95206

Recently built. So hopefully maintenance will be at a minimum.

Rent it out for about 1400.

Total payment should be in around the 750 range.

Leaves about 650 towards teh next property.

Thanks

Eric

That is a the area I call "The Oasis" that is South Stockton. I would not really buy in that area. Go visit the area and you will see why I call it that...lol.

Tim I love the area you live in. If you remember I lived somewhat over there too, but a lil on the rougher side...lol. I agree try to stay norther Stockton. Listen for these buzz words Lincoln, Brookside, Morada....

so something more like this

http://www.trulia.com/property/3033832826-9225-Decatur-Dr-Stockton-CA-95209

What do you guys see in typical cashflow per month. Also what about typical expense?

Actually man that is by a street called Plantation, which is a HIGH crime area. You want to look at houses a lil further down Wagner Heights and on the opposite side. Its crazy how stockton has these cool houses ducked behind hood areas...lol.

I do not make a ton off my houses to be honest. But they are solid revenue. But I am not trying to be a real estate mogul either. If you really wanna make some money try to buy some land out there. But with that being said. Things could go all bad if you get bad tennants in there.

N8,

Revenue, apprciation, and long term equity is what I am looking for. I am in no need to flip houses.

I figure if I can get 4-5 rentals I could start making some serious cash flow.

Oh ok, I got you. Well I had a spot in the hood once. And the house was beautiful, but it turned off people to know they had to drive through that to get to the house. And that the element was so close. But with that being said. I accepted section 8 on that spot, so I always had tennants. But if you decide to go section 8 in stockton please hit me up. I have lots of horror stories and advice for you there.

But outside that, your numbers you crunched seem viable and yes you will make money. Not much in equity at this point. And that area will not appreciate much. But in terms of more incoming than going out. You should be fine.

My family owns several rental properties, they started buying homes when I was only 2yrs old and Im 20yrs old now. It does make money! but, there are many factors that come into play like getting good renters. Over the Years we have had the best and the worst, so use your best judgement and look out for red flags. Location is key so take your time and seriously think everthing out. There might be a month when you wont have renters and then you will have to pay out of your own pocket, in addition to whatever else to have to pay.

It would be ideal to manage your own property, but if you cant then its alright. We have managers only on the property closer to the bay area everything else we manage on our own.

Just to add if you are looking at land you can get a pretty good parcel for real cheap in Texas. I have a nice lil lot in Midland Texas. If interested let me know.

Not underwater so I cant complain about my San Mateo House.

Thanks for all the insight.

I amke a decent living and have finally decided its time for my money to make me money instead of wasting it all on toys. Take a ten year reprieve, get a nice little but of cash flow going and then start buying some real nice toys!
