After you make this calculation and do a little analysis, you will see that the monthly rent has to be more than 1% of the price of the condominium you are about to buy if you are to have any chance of renting it out for a profit. This means, if the price of the condominium is $100,000, you should get a rent of $1,000 or more a month. This is only to be used as a rule of thumb to quickly size up the reasonableness of the asking price. Also, you can quickly determine without the use of a calculator what the return would be on your investment if you bought the place for $100,000 cash (great, forget the mortgage). To do this, you make the conservative assumption that 50% of the $1,000 rent will be eaten up every month by expenses and that you will get to keep only $500. This means you could earn $6,000 a year, or 6%, on your $100,000 investment. All this just tells you quickly that the price and the rent are somewhere in the right ballpark. So if you were ever determined to buy a wonderful $200,000 condominium that would command a rent of only $1,000 a month, you would know that you are paying about two times too much. The price-and-rent relationship for this otherwise excellent condominium would be about two blocks away from the ballpark. If you had to rent it any time soon, you would have to feed this condominium with large amounts of cold, hard cash every month. Nevertheless, if you kept this expensive condominium long enough, even it might become a viable rental unit someday. An overpayment of 100% is bound to cause financial bleeding, but time may heal some wounds, sometimes. If we assume you need a rent of about $2,000 a month for it to be a going concern and further assume that the rent will be increasing at 6% a year, we can calculate what any time soon or long enough means as follows: The rule of 72 allows us to easily calculate, by dividing the 6% rate of increase into 72, that a 6% compounded rate of increase in rent would take 12 years to double the rent to $2,000 a month. So after bearing all the expenses of holding onto the property for 12 years, you could only then start hoping to break even.

Izdarot minētos aprēķinus un analīzi, jūs nonāksiet pie secinājuma, ka ikmēneša īres maksai ir jābūt lielākai par 1% no īpašuma cenas, ja vēlaties izīrējot iegūt jel kādu peļņu. Ja kooperatīvā dzīvokļa cena ir 100 tūkstoši dolāru, ikmēneša īres maksai ir jābūt vismaz vienam tūkstotim dolāru, bet labāk – lielākai. Tas ir labs princips, kā ātri noskaidrot, vai prasītā cena ir kaut cik pieņemama. Tikpat ātri un bez kalkulatora jūs varat noteikt, kāda būtu ieguldījuma atdeves likme, ja jūs pirktu dzīvokli par 100 tūkstošiem dolāru skaidrā naudā (lieliski, aizmirstam hipotekāro kredītu). Lai to saprastu, jums konservatīvi jāpieņem, ka 50% no ikmēneša īres maksas, t.i., 1 000 dolāru, aprīs izdevumi, un jūs varēsiet paturēt tikai 500 dolārus. Tātad jūs nopelnīsiet sešus tūkstošus dolāru gadā jeb 6% no jūsu 100 tūkstošu lielās investīcijas. Tādā veidā var ātri noskaidrot, vai prasītā cena attiecībā pret iespējamo īres maksu ir vispār vērta, lai to apsvērtu uzmanīgāk. Piemēram, ja jūs esat nolūkojis lielisku kooperatīvo dzīvokli par 200 tūkstošiem dolāru vietā, kur ir iespējams paprasīt īres maksu, kas ir ne lielāka par vienu tūkstoti dolāru, jums jāsaprot, ka jūs grasāties maksāt par dzīvokli divas reizes dārgāk, nekā tas būtu saprātīgi. Šis dzīvoklis var būt visādā ziņā izcils, tomēr īres maksas un cenas attiecība liecina, ka esat aizmaldījies divas reizes tālāk par savu mērķi. Ja jūs šo dzīvokli sāktu drīzumā izīrēt, jums tajā nāktos mest iekšā lielu naudu, tas ir, tērēt dzīvu naudu katru mēnesi. Tomēr, ja jūs šo dārgo dzīvokli paturētu pietiekami ilgi, nav izslēgts, ka ar laiku tas var kļūt piemērotāks izīrēšanai. Pārmaksa par 100 tūkstošiem dolāru cirtīs finansiālas brūces, bet varbūt laiks tās sadziedēs, vismaz dažreiz. Ja pieņemam, ka ir jāspēj prasīt īres maksu 2 tūkstošu dolāru apjomā, un pieņemam, ka īres maksu prognozējamais kāpums ir 6% gadā, tad varam aprēķināt, kādas ir iespējamās prognozes, izmantojot tā saukto "Rule of 72", ko finanšu pasaulē lieto, lai noskaidrotu investīciju dubultošanās laiku. Saskaņā ar to, 72 dalām ar 6% kāpumu, iegūstot secinājumu, ka paies 12 gadi, līdz īres maksa pacelsies līdz 2 tūkstošiem dolāru mēnesī. Tātad 12 gadus jums būs vienkārši jātur īpašums un pacietīgi jāveic maksājumi, pirms sasniegsiet iespēju sākt kaut ko atpelnīt.
