7 7 6 Single-Family Home rentals are DEAD ! By: Gene Guarino Now that’s a headline for 2015. When I was in my 20’s, making $100 a month in positive cash flow was exciting. Now that I’m in my 50’s, it doesn’t cut it at all. That doesn’t even pay for dinner or a round of golf. When you do the math, in order to make $10,000 at $100 a month, I would need 100 single-family home sales. That’s a lot of tenants, toilets, and turnover to make the money that I need to live on, to thrive and to be able to bless those around me. Maybe I could do it with 50 homes, but the payday is still way out in the future. I need and want the cash flow right now. Can you relate to that?
