House rental business. House for daily rent! We create passive income

When buying a cottage for the purpose of its further rental, you need to understand that the criteria for buying a house as a business and a house for personal residence are different. What do you need to know when making an investment purchase, so that later it would not be excruciatingly painful for the money thrown away aimlessly?

The first mistake that a future landlord can make is buying a home “for himself” (I would like a house in the village) or on occasion (a neighbor offers his dacha at half price). If you enter this business - as, indeed, any other - then enter prepared. “Obviously, sooner or later, the suburban real estate rental market will repeat its urban counterpart. Quite recently, it was most profitable to buy a very expensive apartment and rent it expensive, but today we are seeing a tendency to saturate the market for elite apartments, - Irina Bobko, head of the rental department of the Vavilon real estate agency, comments on the situation on the market. “Now there are few offers for renting high-quality suburban housing.”

Of course, a lot depends on the direction in which the house is located - a potential source of your income. Identical houses in different directions can differ in terms of rental rates by several times, and this should not be forgotten. At the moment, Rublyovka is still out of competition in terms of popularity. It is followed by Novorizhskoe highway, Mozhaiskoe highway, Kaluga highway, Simferopolskoe highway.

The second mistake is an incorrectly chosen target consumer. The future landlord must clearly understand to whom (a compatriot or a foreigner, with high or medium incomes, with or without children ...) and for how long (for summer season or year-round) he will rent the house. For example, if the cottage is intended for permanent residence, then the distance from it to the Moscow Ring Road should not exceed 30 km (and this is still subject to a not too overloaded route).

The third mistake is an incorrectly chosen environment. The most liquid in terms of renting a house in cottage village: tenants pay attention to security, availability of infrastructure - to everything that makes living and recreation comfortable and safe. Naturally, the more developed the infrastructure and the more reliable the security, the higher rent. Of course, it is cheaper to buy land in the village from some grandmother and build a house there. But for the rental business, this option is absolutely not suitable. “I had to watch how absolutely charming owners acquired a very presentable house with a large plot, a swimming pool, landscape design and other benefits, - says Irina Bobko. “But they couldn’t rent out their house, even for a relatively small price, just because it was surrounded by a village with dilapidated houses and half-drunk residents.” Not too suitable for the rental business and old-fashioned places. Yes, they have romance, yes, they are located in great place, but they cannot provide residents with either comfort or security.

The fourth mistake is the wrong choice of house. Often one has to observe a picture when a house was designed by an unfortunate architect in the person of the owner or hostess, the only bathroom in the house is located on the first floor, and from the bedroom on the third level you can go there only through the whole house. In addition, the cottage could be designed individually for a particular family. So what should be a house suitable for rent? Two, maximum three levels, a small number of spacious rooms. There should be at least three bedrooms in the house, especially if the house is supposed to be rented out to a family with children. " Special attention you need to pay attention to the stairs, their convenience and safety, adds Bobko. “Two extremes are possible here: excessive savings, which leads to a structure that is completely inconvenient for lifting, or, conversely, the generosity of the soul in the form of metal forging, stained-glass windows, etc., which can be very unsafe for children.”

The presence of a bath, sauna or, even better, a pool can significantly increase the rent. Increases the liquidity of the house and the presence of an ennobled plot of at least 10 acres. Moreover, fruit and berry bushes, and even more so gardening, are not held in high esteem - tenants will not appreciate it. As a finishing touch - the presence of 1-2 parking spaces. By the way, those 100-500 m that the future tenant will have to overcome from the highway to the house are no less important. “Recently, in our practice there was such a case. The potential tenant did not even drive up to the house as soon as he saw that from the highway to the future place of residence in his expensive car he would have to regularly drive 100 m on clay soil, ”says Irina Bobko.

The fifth mistake is incorrectly executed documents for the house and land. This is one of the biggest problems that arise when renting a country house. When buying, you need to carefully check the documents both for the house itself and for the land. The ideal option is that both are properly designed and owned by one person. But quite often the house is framed as unfinished, which leads to problems, for example, with insurance or the execution of a lease agreement. It is also not uncommon for a part of the land being sold to be owned, and a part to be long-term leased, which again increases the risks. “The nuances can be different, I have seen cases when they tried to privately rent out a house, which, in principle, they have no right to rent out,” says Bobko, “since it was legally rented out in a departmental settlement.”

The sixth mistake - the costs of maintaining the building are not taken into account. It is important to understand that it is not enough just to buy a house, it will still have to be maintained, and monthly costs can reach up to $500-1000. When choosing a house, carefully check the availability of all communications, their condition, the technical indicators of the building - the presence and maintenance of a septic tank, energy dependence, so that it does not turn out that the lion's share of the rent will go only to the maintenance of the house.

The morning of January 1st is the busiest day of the year for the owner of Luxury Cottage, Konstantin Kurepin. For three years now, his cottages in the Moscow region have been filled to capacity during the winter holidays. Two New Year's weeks bring the owner five times more income than any month of the year. The cost of renting a cottage for two days, including new year's eve, costs 100 thousand rubles this year. But there is a risk: sometimes even such a rent does not cover the amount of damage caused by guests during New Year's Eve.

“Once, young people decided to play tag with what was on the New Year's table: the walls were smeared with oranges and tomatoes,” Konstantin recalls. “The whole house had to be repainted in less than a day.” And force majeure in this business is not uncommon: on New Year's Eve, the electricity was turned off in the cottages more than once. The owner himself brings order: last New Year's Eve, for example, he spent in the basement of one of the houses, where a pipe burst under the chimes.

650 thousand rubles for holidays

A surge in the currency and an unofficial ban on security forces from traveling abroad led to a noticeable increase in demand for cottage rentals. "For recent years there is an abnormally high occupancy of facilities in the Moscow region, which is more than 90%,” says Natalya Rosenblum, managing partner of Top Hotel Experts consulting company. At the same time, the cost recreation near Moscow constantly growing: according to RBC Real Estate, for the first half of 2015, the price of renting houses in the Solnechnogorsk district of the Moscow region (where Kurepin's cottages are located) increased by 39.6%, and most of all in the Odintsovo district - by 85.7% .

According to the Kottegi.ru service, the most cheap option accommodation for three days, including New Year's Eve, in the suburbs this year costs 20 thousand rubles. - for this money you can rent a two-story house with one bedroom on the 120th km of Novorizhskoye highway. The most expensive offer is a three-story mansion on the 35th km of the Volokolamsk Highway with an area of ​​1.3 thousand square meters. m with 1 hectare of local area and a helipad. Its for three new year's day can be rented for 700 thousand rubles.

In general, cottage rental prices are long new year holidays 30-50% higher compared to the same period during non-holiday hours, Natalya Rosenblum calculated. “At the same time, one must understand that high occupancy and long holidays often have a negative impact on the state of the room stock,” notes Rosenblum.

In the regions, the average cost of daily rent of cottages rises by 50-60% on weekends, New Year's Eve costs 2-6 times more than any other day of the year. So, according to the N1.RU real estate portal, renting a cottage for new year holidays in Novosibirsk it will cost an average of 42 thousand rubles, in Krasnoyarsk - 34 thousand rubles, in Yekaterinburg - 78.4 thousand rubles.

house by house

Konstantin Kurepin is a graduate of the Military University of the Ministry of Defense. He retired immediately after graduation and opened a travel agency Dream Tour LLC. This business was on the rise in the early 2000s and did not require large investments at the start. The money that Kurepin set aside for a second higher education went to the launch - about 200 thousand rubles.

In parallel with the main business, Konstantin decided to rent out a house in the village of Rybaki near Moscow, which he inherited from his parents. Two-storey cottage with an area of ​​150 sq. m with a territory of 15 acres, a gazebo and a pond, he handed over to the family on a long-term basis. But the experiment was not very successful - in just two years, the tenants managed to "kill" the cottage. Kurepin made repairs and began renting the house through Avito by the day. On weekdays, the cottage was usually empty, but almost every weekend it was possible to earn about 10 thousand rubles.

In 2011, Kurepin bought another cottage from a family friend not far from ski resort Sorochany. “A man lived abroad for many years, and this house was a hole in his wallet for him. Therefore, he was very happy when I offered to buy the house, albeit cheaper than the market, ”recalls Konstantin. Three-storey cottage with an area of ​​250 sq. m with a swimming pool, sauna and 14 acres of land went to the entrepreneur for only 3.5 million rubles. About 1.5 million more rubles, taken on credit, were spent on repairs. The entrepreneur also began renting new real estate by the day - this house brought Konstantin already 20 thousand rubles. for the weekend.

In 2012, the side job turned into a full-fledged business. Kurepin was contacted by an acquaintance who several years ago built six cottages in the village of Myshetskoye near Solnechnogorsk, near Moscow, planning to sell them. But the crisis brought down the demand for real estate, and the houses were idle. Upon learning that Kurepin was already renting out two of his own houses, she suggested that he take these cottages under management. Konstantin entered into an agreement with the owner, according to which he rented out houses and monitored their condition. The profit is divided in half.

From that moment on, income from renting houses began to exceed the profit that brought travel business, and Konstantin handed over the management of the travel agency to his wife. At the same time, he registered the Luxury Cottage brand and began managing houses on behalf of his Dream Tour LLC. But by law entity cannot rent out residential buildings - in this case, the property must be transferred to a non-residential fund. In order to “not fool around with documents” and at the same time work legally, Kurepin came up with a scheme: the owner of the houses rented them to Dream Tour, and the company, in turn, acted as an intermediary in renting the property to the tenant.

Business in the swamps

At first, Konstantin's wife was responsible for cleaning the cottages, while he himself worked as a plumber, loader and administrator. “I still enjoy it — to be in this business, you have to be a business executive to the core,” he says. But it soon became clear that it was very difficult to efficiently manage several cottages scattered across the Moscow region. The entrepreneur decided to sell a cottage in Sorochany and a house in the village of Rybaki. With the proceeds, he decided to scale the business: buy his own land and start construction. There was not enough money, and at the family council it was decided to also sell an apartment in Zelenograd, in which Konstantin's younger sister Anna lived (in 2016 she joined the family business). The mother of the entrepreneur, who had just retired, also began to help.

The entrepreneur invested about 5 million rubles in the purchase of 3.5 hectares of land in the village of Pokrov. own and credit funds. “The site was, to put it mildly, not in the most favorable place,” admits Kurepin. - Land in the middle of the forest, in the swamp. It was difficult even to walk there, let alone build.” It took two and a half years to coordinate documents, plans and obtain permits. The foundation of the first cottage was poured only at the beginning of 2014.

But the game was worth the candle, Kurepin is sure. "Cottages in the middle of the forest, Fresh air, around - not a soul, - he boasts. “We arranged the houses so that the guests did not intersect, did not even see each other and rested as comfortably as possible.” This arrangement helped to solve the problem with neighbors: in Rybakov and Sorochany locals often complained about the noisy companies of guests. “Now we only have foxes, elks and wild boars among our neighbors,” Konstantin says. “They are generally peaceful, except that they drag food from the tables.”

Inside the cottages are also different from ordinary houses. There should be as much free space as possible for relaxation, which means many living rooms and a large adjacent area. “Not only comfort is important, but also aesthetics,” says Konstantin. “Our houses are designed for groups of up to 22 people, and everyone needs somewhere to sleep. It is necessary to create as many sleeping places as possible, but at the same time not to turn the bedrooms into barracks.

Rentier economics

According to Konstantin, the construction of one cottage with a capacity of 10-12 people costs an average of 10 million rubles. A plot of 15-20 acres in an eco-friendly area of ​​the Moscow region with good transport accessibility can be bought for 2-3 million rubles. About 5.5 million rubles are spent on the construction process itself, and another 1.5 million rubles are spent on approvals, communications and infrastructure construction (entrances to the house, adjacent territory with gazebos and barbecues).

If you get permits and control the work of the teams yourself, you can save several million. So, for Luxury Cottage, the construction of six cottages cost 46 million rubles, 10 million of which Konstantin had to take on credit. Now servicing loans costs him 300 thousand rubles. “This business is not extremely profitable - I invested income from the sale of property, loans, and continue to invest almost everything I earn. And I understand that this business will not pay off soon, - the entrepreneur admits. “But this is a fundamental business that gives confidence in the future - after all, the houses built will not go anywhere.” According to RBC's calculations, the delivery of houses brings Kurepin about 300 thousand rubles a month. earnings after the repayment of bank loans.

If the business continues to develop at the same pace, it will be possible to recoup the invested funds in 10-15 years of operation. Unless, of course, the Russian authorities will raise property taxes every year. If in 2015 Kurepin paid 15 thousand rubles for 3.5 hectares of his land, then in 2016 - already 150 thousand rubles.

The January holidays, which bring the entrepreneur the main profit, are divided into three races: from December 31 to January 3, from January 3 to 6 and from January 6 to 9. This year, all seats were sold out before mid-November. A cottage for New Year's Eve will cost 100 thousand rubles, other dates - three times cheaper. On ordinary days, the rent costs 32 thousand rubles. for the weekend. The New Year holidays of 2015/16, according to RBC estimates, brought the entrepreneur about 1.3 million rubles. revenue, this year he plans to increase the New Year's turnover to 2.5 million rubles.

Demand in this market always exceeds supply during the holidays. Overall market country rest in the Moscow region is not filled, Konstantin Kurepin is sure.

“We are developing infrastructure on the water, and all our activities take place exclusively in the summer,” says Alexei Kolmogorov, owner of the Pelican Yacht Club. “In the off-season and in winter, we rent everything out for reasons of cost optimization.” During the upcoming New Year holidays, three cottages on the territory of the yacht club will bring the company, according to Kolmogorov's forecasts, up to 620 thousand rubles. revenue and up to 400 thousand rubles. net profit.

In order to have time to put the house in order between the holiday races, Kurepin hires an additional ten cleaners. Tenants leave a deposit of 10 thousand rubles, but often the damage exceeds this amount - guests break furniture, appliances and draw on the walls.

Chinese perspectives

Now Luxury Cottage rents out 13 cottages: seven managed cottages (another owner handed over to Kurepin in 2016) in Myshetsky, five own houses and one two-story bathhouse in " residential park Cover". On the territory of 1.5 hectares (the remaining 2 hectares have not yet been developed) there is a pond, which in winter turns into a skating rink, gazebos, a network of specially dug canals (“to be like in Europe”) and even a private farm. “My mother’s husband loves animals very much and constantly started in the house where they live, then rabbits, then chickens. Mom got tired of it, and she sent him to breed animals in the forest, in Pokrov, ”says Konstantin. So next to the cottages settled turkeys, chickens, ducks, geese and one piglet. He tried to sell eggs and rabbit meat to the guests, but he realized that you can’t earn much on farming - the money raised did not even cover the cost of food. The menagerie has turned into petting zoo and attracts families with children.

Kurepin rents cottages through his own website, cooperates with a number of aggregators (Booking.com, TVIL, Airbnb, etc.) and 40 travel agencies. The entrepreneur gives 10% of each transaction to the agencies. He is going to build up the remaining 2 hectares of land with double houses, establish contact with corporate clients and tourists. They need cottages not only for the holidays.

“Many people come from the regions to see Moscow, but they prefer hotels Vacation home”, says Konstantin. He also counts on foreign tourists: representatives of Chinese companies, for example, are already discussing cooperation with Luxury Cottage. “Tourist all inclusive is now popular - we will meet the delegation, settle people in a cottage, provide venues for business negotiations and show Moscow,” the entrepreneur says.

• What is an apartment building?
• An example of a real investor

IN Lately is becoming more and more popular method of earning on investments in a tenement house. However, most strategies require a significant start-up capital to implement the project. Businessman and business coach Andrei Merkulov, as part of the trainings, offers a completely different scheme, which, according to the specialist, allows you to quickly organize an apartment building and earn money for your own apartment in just two months. Such ideas seem crazy, but let's still figure out how it works.

What is an apartment building?

One of the most difficult questions today for almost everyone is, and most are ready to say with confidence that it will take more than one year to earn the appropriate amount. What is the essence of the idea of ​​​​a profitable house and how to earn money for an apartment using a strategy in just 2 months?

A profitable house is an investor-created apartment house which brings passive income. All that is required to create an apartment building is to build or buy a house, “cut” it into apartments and receive income by renting out apartments.

According to the idea of ​​an apartment house, the investor receives profit without running an active business - the house, as it were, brings money by itself, however, the complexity of organizing an apartment house is that it will probably take you more than one year to earn money for the implementation of such a project.

How to buy an apartment building with bank money and get a stable cash flow from it

Creation of an apartment building according to a simplified scheme

According to Andrey Merkulov, the use of Robert Kiyosaki's strategy of "cutting" a house into apartments and the competent use of mortgage opportunities, or attracting investors to the project, can make it possible to implement an apartment building project without any investment and down payment at all.

The circuit works simply:

1. You are taking big house, which is either acquired on credit, or through co-investment or in any other way without attracting own funds
2. The large house is divided into several apartments. For example, a building with an area of ​​150 sq. meters turn into an apartment building with 5 apartments
3. Apartments in the created tenement building are rented out and generate income that covers the loan for housing. Profit allows you to achieve a significant cash flow, which turns into passive income.

If the scheme is correctly implemented, then instead of working for more than one year on your own apartment, you will immediately create many apartments at the expense of investors, one of which, thanks to a well-thought-out scheme, is fully paid for by the tenants of other apartments.

An example of a real earnings scheme

Instead of working for your apartment for a single year, you purchase a house with an area of ​​150 sq. meters within a radius of 20 km from Moscow - real estate will cost you about 5 million rubles. The loan payment in this case will be 60,000 rubles per month, but the house should be divided into separate studio apartments. It is studio apartments that bring the greatest profit under this scheme, since they can have an area of ​​​​only 15-18 square meters. meters and at the same time remain very attractive to tenants. Thus, in a large house you will create 8 separate apartments, each of which can bring 18 thousand rubles a month from renting out. However, you rent out 7 apartments, and you can just keep one for yourself. Thus, in less than a year, you earn your own housing. As for the 7 apartments in the building, they bring in 126,000 rubles a month through leasing. As you can see, this is quite enough to cover the loan and additional income in the amount of 45 thousand rubles.

Make money work for you

Most earning schemes offer serious work in which you have to earn every penny. on your own. With such a strategy for an apartment, you will earn at least a year, even if you use best schemes real estate investment.

In the proposed scheme, an apartment building is created in a matter of months, and starts working for you in less than a year, instead of your independent hard work. The cash flow does not stop, and in 10-20 years, when the loan for the house is fully repaid, the profit from the tenement house will increase significantly. This will make it possible to forget about such a thing as a pension in the traditional sense of the word.

How to get income over 300 thousand per month

An example of a real investor

Of course, the scheme of earnings on tenement houses without attracting their own funds is already used by many young businessmen. Some of them actually work. For example, Karina Sokolova bought a one-room apartment in the secondary market of the Moscow region for 2.5 million rubles. At first, she rented housing according to the standard scheme for 22 thousand rubles, which barely made it possible to cover mortgage payments - after cutting the housing into 2 studios, each individual apartment began to bring 17 thousand rubles. As a result, in addition to the mortgage payment, the businessman was able to organize passive income in the amount of 10 thousand rubles.

As you can see, the scheme for earning money on tenement houses is quite real, and some successful businessmen already receive 100-300 thousand rubles a month thanks to a competent profitable scheme.

How to make money on an apartment - take a big house, even without raising your own funds, and divide it into several rental apartments in less than a year.

The scheme from Andrey Merkulov has its own characteristics and really allows money to work for you, and not vice versa, however, before proceeding with its implementation, it is important to get acquainted with the relevant literature or attend specialized trainings.

The portrait of a suburban real estate tenant is as follows - this is a young man with his family. He earns well, but for some reason does not want to buy or build his own house. What is the situation in this market, and what should the tenant and landlord of suburban housing need to know?

What would you like?
Since cottages are mostly rented by family people, they expect that the private area will have at least 3 bedrooms (master's, children's and guest). Another desirable room for a nanny, for a housekeeper. In a word, wealthy representatives of the middle class are guided by a house whose area is from 200 to 300 square meters. meters. Mansions of 1000 sq. m few people need, so the demand for them is small.

Naturally, tenants are concerned about the transport accessibility of the village, so the 30-kilometer zone from the Moscow Ring Road is in favor. Housing located further away is hard to rent.

It is good if the infrastructure is developed in the village or nearby (there are shops with payment terminals, a children's playground, car wash, pharmacy), and the village itself is inhabited - one where many homeowners spend the winter. Few people like to live alone in an open field. Security of the territory and the checkpoint are obligatory, and security of the house itself is desirable.

A furnished cottage is more likely to find tenants than an empty one. At the same time, none of the tenants is chasing inlaid parquet and antique furniture Everything should be tastefully decorated and clean. Chips and scratches on furniture, worn floors - this can not only reduce the price of an object, but also completely scare away employers from it.

Houses surrounded by trees are valued above brothers, "growing" on a bare field. So cherish and cherish your lindens and maples. This effort will come in handy if you ever decide to rent out your property.

A well-equipped small garden with strawberries will also be in demand, because we prefer to choose the best for children, and the tenant will be happy to pick up the gardening idea.

Seasonal rental
This concept most often means renting out for the summer. Experienced tenants are looking for houses in advance, in February-March. Therefore, it is also necessary to exhibit your cottage during this period. What do summer residents need? Nets on the windows from flying insects (pay attention to this fact if you have such nets), an equipped barbecue area (however, if there is none, it does not matter), a gazebo where you can hide from the scorching sun, a flower garden, which consists of perennials, therefore, does not require seedlings, deep knowledge of botany and other horticultural difficulties. Fruit bushes (especially blackcurrants rich in vitamin C), apple trees, plums - all of these will be a big, fat plus and add a few points to your offer.

Rental Extreme
Here we will talk about renting for weekends and holidays. It must be understood that our citizens were not brought up in the Smolny Institute and the page corps. Broken furniture, broken toilets, dirt - all this you can encounter if you provide your accommodation for a corporate or student drink that lasts several days. But the financial return from such “barbarian races” is higher than from the peaceful, measured life of a married couple.

Surrender in daily rent suitable for those who have another house or apartment to live in. You must understand that the rented cottage will quickly grow old. To reduce losses, keep a manager on the site who will make sure that the company does not frolic too much. It is desirable that the manager has an apartment (for example, in a superstructure above the garage or in a separate small house), because the merry public will not like it if a checking person wanders around the house and beats everyone on the hands - "don't touch it." You must state in the contract that the owner or his representative has the right to enter the house rented for the weekend. You will also have to pay for cleaning after the temporary residents move out. However, if this is your business, you can clean it yourself.

To accommodate the cottage as much as possible more people, take care of sleeping places, and when signing the lease agreement, specify whether you must provide bed linen, dishes, etc.

Legal subtleties
Typically, a lease is concluded for a year (if it is not seasonal), followed by an extension. Before renting a house, make an inventory of the property: what items are in the house, their value and condition. You can take pictures of the premises and attach photos to the contract. You also have to delimit the areas of responsibility: who, for example, will be responsible for cleaning the garden, pay for the repair of broken appliances. One lady owned a hectare in an old country house. There were two houses on this hectare: she lived in one, rented out the second. In the summer, the hostess plucked berry bushes to the berry and cleaned the territory when picking mushrooms, forbade planting flowers near the rental house. All these points must be specified in the document so that no one is offended later.

It is also necessary to distribute payments. Who will give money to the board (settlement fees), who will pay for electricity and gas, Internet, snow removal, lawn mowing (naturally, the tenants themselves).

In addition to the contract, it is necessary to resolve the issue with the amount that will go to the insurance deposit. We are talking about the money that the landlord will receive if the tenant suddenly moves out before the agreed time. The deposit is not returned even if the tenant breaks, breaks or spoils something. Also, the employer may be asked for an advance payment in the amount of 3 monthly payments - as insurance against "escape".

The tenant, before signing the contract, needs to make sure that the house belongs to the person who appears to be the landlord, so it is imperative to look at the documents establishing the ownership. You can also ask for a copy of the inventory for yourself, so that later you are not credited with damage to property.

Valuable Facts
Real estate market experts say that a cottage of 500 sq. meters can be rented for 150 thousand rubles. For the same price, smaller houses are also rented - 200-300 sq. meters. This suggests that tenants are not chasing footage - they need quality and acceptable price. The most frequently asked price is 30-90 thousand rubles. per month. Before you give the go-ahead to rent a house, take an interest in what kind of boiler it is heated. If electric, then renting will cost you much more, because electricity is not cheap. It is optimal if the house is heated by a gas boiler, and the stove is also gas.

Business-class houses can be offered for 100-300 thousand rubles. Everything that is rated higher by the owner is looking for its client for a long time.

The cost of daily rent is an average of 40 thousand rubles, while two days spent in the same house will cost 55 thousand rubles - with long stay there are huge discounts. The daily rental agreement states maximum amount guests (say 25 people).

empty case
If you invest in a house that has just begun to be built, then by the end of construction, its price will increase, and if you sell it within the first three years, you will make a profit. Does it make sense to buy or build a house to rent it out? Experts are sure that it is unprofitable. Especially now when rents are low. But if this is a second home, then why not try? Let it not be a mansion, but a simple seasonal dacha - put it in order and rent it out for the summer to a simple family with a child. And they are happy, and you have a small addition to the budget. Dachas and cottages located far (30 km and further) from the Moscow Ring Road are very difficult to rent. The closer the house is to the capital, the sooner it will find its temporary owner.

Rent or buy?
You can't rent a decent house for cheap. However, there are people who live in rented suburban housing for years. And it is beneficial for them. Because, having bought or built a house, we also take care of its maintenance. The tenant does not care what happens to our boiler - we will change it at our own expense. If you have the funds, but do not want to “nest” for life, renting is a great way out. Foreigners often move into business-class houses. Wealthy men rent a house for their family so that the child grows up in the fresh air. Sometimes, having lived outside the city, getting used to large area and freedom, people buy their own house.

Table 1. The cost of rent by destination (as of October 2011, in thousand rubles).

The most enterprising residents big cities And resort places, small villages and suburban villages earn money by renting out houses. Many of us feel that this type of business cannot be profitable. But, are we right? This good way earn in a very short time and without financial expenses. But, it is also important to remember that here, as in any other type of business, there are risks and pitfalls. Let's figure it out.

We are looking for a tenant

You can go one of two ways - to resort to the help of an agency or to search on your own.

Option one . Should I contact an agency or not? Is it beneficial? This FAQ, to which it is difficult to find unambiguous answers in the format "Yes / No". Yes, the agency will quickly take up the search for clients, and will also help to conclude a contract of employment. But, you should not trust the first office you meet. Try to choose a reputable organization with impressive experience and a well-deserved reputation. The advice of friends and acquaintances, reviews on the Internet will help you in your search.

You will need to pay for the services of the agency, and the amount will be rather big. Be sure to read all the possible costs specified in the contract with the agency, and only after that put your signature.

The benefits of such cooperation are quick search several candidates at once. A possible disadvantage is the need for high fees for such services.

Option two . You can search for tenants yourself. The ad can be placed in newspapers and on television, placed on the Internet or on billboards. As a rule, one of these options is ineffective, so it is better to resort to several at once. As a result, you will end up with the same amount that the agency can request. There will be 10 times more worries.

The ads do not need to indicate the address of the house. It is provided directly to those customers who are interested in the offer, want to inspect the housing. It is better to limit yourself to a phone number.

Legal side

Whether you are renting a private house on your own or hiring specialists, in any case you will need to conclude an agreement. If this is not a seasonal building, draw up an agreement for one year. Be sure to describe all objects in the premises, their appearance and cost. You can even take a photo of the interior and attach the photo to the contract.

Distribute payments. It is important to sort out the obligations of each of the parties. For example, you can agree on who will do the following:

• Transfer of funds to the board (quarterly village contributions);
• paying bills for gas, electricity, Internet;
• garbage disposal;
• lawn mowing;
• snow removal.

Specify the amount of the amount that will go to the security deposit. This refers to the amount that the landlord will receive if the tenant decides to leave the house before the deadline specified in the contract. The deposit is non-refundable if the furniture has been damaged, broken or broken. This is a kind of insurance against escaping "from the crime scene."

The tenant, for his part, has full right obtain all documents (or copies thereof) indicating that it is the landlord who owns the building or has the right to dispose of it.

There are several unwritten rules that will help you rent the building as profitably as possible, while saving your time. Check out the prices in your area. To do this, just look at the sites, ads in the newspaper or on television. Set yourself an amount in advance, as well as a threshold to which you can afford to lower it.

When setting your price, consider the following factors:

1. Distance from the city;
2. location area;
3. new building / old construction
4. road condition;
5. potential neighbors;
6. presence / absence of protection;
7. site infrastructure (school, kindergarten, shops, sports grounds, pharmacies);
8. availability of furniture and household appliances;
9. high-quality repairs, cosmetic or completely absent;
10. sewer, hot water;
11. garden or vegetable garden on site.

In the case when you rent not a small house, but a luxurious cottage, work only through an agency. The rental amount will reach several thousand dollars, so it is much more profitable to work with specialists, rather than looking for clients on your own. Often such cases end in theft and deceit.

Warn new residents that you will come to visit from time to time. This is necessary in order to make sure that everything is in order with your housing and property. By the way, you have every right to do so. Decide on deadlines. It can be a short period (from a month to six months), long term(for a year with the possibility of continuing the agreement), for several days (holidays).

Always make a contract, even if the new tenants seem nice and conscientious. It will protect you from scams. The document itself indicates all information about the employers (registration, passport details, phone numbers). For yourself, you can additionally ask about the place of work in order to double-check this information later.

Before showing the house, clean it so that it produces good impression for future residents. Show it's clean and safe place for families with children.

Always turn off your landline phone if you have one. In most cases, tenants leave unpaid long distance bills. Explain this by the fact that you do not live here permanently, you do not use a landline phone, because you prefer a mobile one.

taxes

After completing and signing the contract, contact the tax authorities in your area. You must submit a copy of the contract. You will be charged income tax in the amount of 13% of the amount.

Today, many do not notify the tax office that they are engaged in such a small business. If this becomes known, the landlord is subject to a large fine, after which he is forced to pay the tax.

Associated risks

The biggest risk is damage to the rented house. This happens after weddings, birthdays, corporate parties from all kinds of other festivities. In addition, a family living with small children can cause damage, especially if the furnishings in the building are expensive (TVs, aquariums, swimming pools, etc.)

To avoid trouble, draw up an act of acceptance and transfer of the building and all property in it. You can prescribe all penalties in advance, providing tenants with a price list for even the smallest flaws.

Keep in mind that quite often such a business brings not only profit, but also trouble. You just need to follow certain rules and instructions that will help prevent risks and troubles. That's when the business will be successful.
