Happy Saturday Housing Heroes!

Too many rental property owners guess their way through pricing, often leaving money on the table or dealing with vacancies. But what if you had a formula to set rents that both maximizes profit and minimizes empty units? Enter Max Rent Pricing

I put together a 60 second video talking about this. Click here or tap the thumbnail below to watch! 👇

Key Highlights of This Video 👇

  • Run a market analysis of similar homes that have recently rented.
  • Identify a 10% range (e.g., $3,000–$3,300).
  • Take the high end, subtract 5%, and voila—your Max Rent price ($3,135 in this case).

Find your property’s perfect price!

​

Are you wondering how to pinpoint the perfect rental price for your property? Setting the right rate isn’t just about covering your expenses, it’s about maximizing your investment while staying competitive in the market.

Spoiler: she didn’t just call her agent she went full research mode. ChatGPT, articles, deep dives... and then she passed the gold nuggets on to us. It got...

Steve Welty Issue# 55 July 2025 Happy Saturday, Housing Heroes! I want to share a story not a polished success, but a real moment when things didn’t go how we hoped. More importantly, what we did about it, and what we learned. A Decade of Trust - Then, A Breakdown Back in 2013, one of our earliest clients joined Good Life. Before the big team. Before the brand.
