Actionable Strategies For Setting The Right Rent

Episode 13

Logan Ransley is joined by Dwellsy co-founder, Jonas Bordo, to explore how to run a market comparison and set the right rent rate for your rental property.

Setting the perfect rent isn't a one-time task—it's a crucial annual review for landlords and investors. The amount of rent you can charge is influenced by various factors including property type, size, location, and market demand. Price it too high, and you risk prolonged vacancies; too low, and you leave money on the table.

In this episode, we've partnered with Jonas Bordo, co-founder of Dwellsy rental marketplace to guide you through the intricacies of setting the optimal rent rate. We'll explore how to assess a property's potential, conduct a comprehensive market comparison, and ultimately, determine that ideal number to maximize your ROI while minimizing vacancies.

  • The key factors that influence rent rates and how to estimate a property's potential.
  • How to perform an in-depth rental market comparison.
  • Essential tools for easy rental property comparisons.
  • Legal considerations when setting and raising rents.
