Renting out....please help?
How do people make money when renting out a house, flat etc when they still have to pay the mortgage at the same time?

eg. Having to pay the mortgage company lets say £350 p/m plus insurance etc.

But you decide you want to rent out and also say £350/pm, how do people make money from this or are they just letting other people pay of their own martgage?

im confused, id like to do this myself but what am i gaining?

You should be charging a little more than what you were paying in rent. That way you can either pay off your mortgage faster or just pocket a little extra change.

You have to raise the price some. It works the same way as if you were selling something for profit. Your goal is not to break even, it is to profit something. Ex: you buy pencils in bulk, for each 1000 pencils you buy they cost .03 cents each. So you won't sell them for .03 cents, you will sell them for .10 or .20 cents each so that you get your money and profit. So if you have a house for rent (I don't understand lira) and your mortgage, and insurance equals $1100 all together then you can charge something like $1500 so that you get the overhead.

Well in essence they are paying your mortgage for you. All the equity in the house goes to you when you sell it. My brother did this with several houses that he bought so he would have retirement income after the homes were paid off.

Well, you either charge more than your payment, which probably won't work. So, you look at it as an investment. You will be paying a little out of your pocket, but in the end will either have equity in the property when you sell, or have an apartment you have paid very little for. Or, wait a few years, and refinance. At this point you have equity in the property, and your paymenys will likely drop, so you won't be paying anything out of pocket, and may be making a little. Now, you could upgrade the property a bit, and up the rent a little more. Sure, you will be paying out of pocket in the beginning, but if you work the numbers, it will pay off in time. I own a house in the states, and come tax season, I get a nice chunk of change back for owning property, and using it as a rental. You can write off a lot of expenses, much like a small business. Check out your local tax laws to see if it will work for you too.

well you put up the rent more than the mortgage so that way the mortgage is paid and you hav some money for yourself lol

Set the rental so that it covers the mortgage and any other fees that may arise. Renting a property is a good way of making some money and paying off a mortgage. If you use a lettting agent they will charge a fee,but will normally check any future tenants.

How much you want to charge from them is up to you, provided that persons are agree with your package. Let's say, you want to rent out for one thousand pound per month ?

The important thing is you don't lose money...

Where I live for a 3 bedroom unfurnished house they ask around £550pcm

You have to do some planning and your sums here. Obviously you cant let a property at a financial loss, so you have to charge a little more than your mortgage repayment as a rent. However, you have to look at this venture long term - as you hope the value of your property increases over the years. Your gain is at the end of your investment, i.el when you sell your property - it is hoped you have let it out and the tenant has effectively paid your mortgage for you, and then when you sell you also make a profit. Hence the idea that your property is paying for itself. You've got to do the sums right first though!
