投资出租房累积百万财富

房市泡沫破裂，对于投资出租房的投资者，看来实在是一次难得的大赚机会。很多人丢了自己的房子，只能选择租房过日子，于是乎，突然之间，出租房市场出现了大量的租房需求。而对于那些工作机会增加的地区，由于新涌进了一大批就业者，于是，这些新的住户，又给那里的出租房市场提供了更多的新需求。

供给的固定，和需求的大量增加，自然就是短期内价格的上升了。而价格（租金）的上升，结果又是出租房售价的水涨船高了。

美国一些地区房屋出租租金的大量上升，就是这诸种因素综合作用的结果。

几天前，一位生活在旧金山地区的老朋友，还来电话谈最近出租房房价突然快速大涨的问题。她说自己很后悔，没有在半年前多买点，现在再买，价格已经上升了太多。

她在说这话的时候，自己已经坐拥十几栋出租公寓房，当了个有钱的地主婆了。

这位还真的是个非常能干的女人。

9.11事件时，她“乘人之危”大捞了一笔。才一个交易，得益于在事件之前的忍（胆小）和事件之后的勇敢（贪婪），几个月下来就是几十万的利润。这一次，她又是紧紧地抓住了机会来“趁火打劫”，也是几个月下来，就是大几十万的新的资产增加。而且，她所买的出租公寓，刚刚签了购买合同，出租客就已经送上门来了。而且，多数时候，还是大量的优质租户。

看着她的发达，想想才十来年的时间，几百万的资产就靠她白手起家积累起来，眼馋美国的机会实在是很多。就看你是不是“生逢其地”了。

旧金山的机会比较多，美国其他地区的机会实际上也不少，即使是被人看扁的密西根地区，也有不错的发财机会，在那里等着有心人去挖掘。

不过，干这一行的，大家可得好好关注经济大势的变化才对，不然的话，面对趋势的变化，你获得的投资收益很可能也会转瞬即逝。

如果你想靠投资出租公寓累积百万资产，这些地区的经验估计值得你好好思考和学习一番。同时，那些目前还没有大涨特涨的地区，估计也还有不少的机会。

Six Cities Where Rents Are Skyrocketing

May 4, 2012 by 247wallst

Yesterday, online real estate site Trulia released rental data for the 100 largest housing markets in the country. The report showed that while home prices have increased slightly in the past year, rent prices have increased more than 5% in the 12 months ending April 31, 2012.

In six of the 100 markets, asking rent has increased by 10% or more. 24/7 Wall St. examined these six cities, which are located all over the country, to determine why rents have increased so much there.

24/7 Wall St. spoke to Trulia’s chief economist, Jed Kolko, who gave several possible explanations for the rents’ increases. First, he said, housing prices in many of these areas did not drop much during the recession, making them less attractive to buyers.

As evidence, home prices in four of these cities fell less than the average for the 100 cities. In Indianapolis, housing prices declined just 6.6% from their peak, the second-smallest decline in the United States. Instead of buying homes, Kolko explained, people moving into these areas have chosen to rent, pushing rental prices higher.

According to Kolko, the second major factor leading to increased rents in these areas is an influx of new employment to the region. Many of these areas have experienced major growth in their job markets. When new workers move to a region, they are likely to seek rental properties over permanent residences until they know how stable their new jobs are.

This is especially the case following a recession, when new employees are not confident in their job security. “If you get a new job, it’s not like you go out the next day and buy a house,” he said. “You want to make sure that job is stable — that you’ve saved up for a down payment — before you decide to make that home purchase.”

Of the six cities on our list, four had employment growth in the past year above the average of the 100 markets. Three were in the top 16 for job growth. In the San Francisco region, where rental prices increased 11.1% in the past 12 months, the number of employed people rose nearly 3% in the past year.

24/7 Wall St. obtained asking home price and rent values for the 100 largest real estate markets from Trulia for the 12 months ending April 31. Trulia also provided us with declines in home value in these areas from their prerecession peaks, as well as change in employment in the past year. Also, when applicable, we examined prices and change in inventory for homes, for these markets, as provided by Realtor.com.

6. Colorado Springs, Colo.
> Change in rent: +10.2%
> Change in sales price: +4.3%
> Price drop from peak: -11%
> Job growth, 1 year: +0.53$

Colorado Springs has as experienced only a modest increase in jobs in the past year. Yet rent in the region increased 10.2% in the 12 months ending April 31 — the sixth-largest increase among the 100 metropolitan areas the agency examines. Home prices also increased over the same period by 4.3%. According to Realtor.com, the number of listings in the area fell more than 25% in the past year, perhaps partly explaining the price increase.

5. Indianapolis, Ind.
> Change in rent: +11.1%
> Change in sales price: +1.7%
> Price drop from peak: -6.6%
> Job growth, 1 year: +1.49%

Of the 100 metro regions examined by Trulia, home prices in Indianapolis had the second-smallest decline during the recession, losing just 6.6% of total value. In the past year, job growth was roughly 1.5%, above average for the cities on our list. Compared to rents, asking home prices increased to a much lesser extent of just 1.7%, the 32nd-largest rise among the cities examined. According to Realtor.com, list prices as of April 31 were among the lowest in the U.S.

4. Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich.
> Change in rent: +11.8%
> Change in sales price: +6.9%
> Price drop from peak: -35.5%
> Job growth, 1 year: +2.53%

During the recession, home prices in the Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills area of Michigan fell 35.5%, among the biggest drops in the country. Recently, however, asking home prices in the region, which is part of suburban Detroit, have recovered rapidly, up 6.9% in the past year alone. Compared to homes, however, rent prices have truly skyrocketed in the past year. In the last quarter alone, rent went up 4.5%. In the past 12 months, rents are up 11.8%. The likely reason for this increase is the 2.5% growth in employment in the area, the 10th-highest jump in the U.S.

3. Miami, Fla.
> Change in rent: +12.3%
> Change in sales price: +16.1%
> Price drop from peak: -45.5%
> Job growth, 1 year: +2.34%

Among the real estate markets to have the largest increases in rent in the past year, no region was more severely affected by the recession. Home prices in the area fell 45.5% from peak, the 14th-biggest decline in the country. However, the situation has begun to turn around in the area. Home prices increased 16.1% in the past year, and rents rose an estimated 12.3% during that time. Job growth is strong in the area at 2.34%.

2. San Francisco, Calif.
> Change in rent: +13.2
> Change in sales price: -0.5%
> Price drop from peak: -22.1%
> Job growth, 1 year: +2.92%

The increasing popularity of the San Francisco real estate market is extremely lopsided. List prices for homes actually fell 0.5% in the past 12 months. Meanwhile, rent prices increased 13.2% — the second-largest increase in the country. The number of employed people in the city grew just shy of 3% in the past year, the seventh-highest rate in the country.

1. Edison-New Brunswick, N.J.
> Change in rent: +15.6%
> Change in sales price: -4.7%
> Price drop from peak: -18.2%
> Job growth, 1 year: +0.69%

Job growth in the Edison-New Brunswick metro area has been modest. Nevertheless, rent in the region jumped a full 15.6% in 12 months, by far the largest increase in the country. In the past quarter alone, rent increased 4%. Meanwhile, home prices actually fell 4.7%, the 11th-largest decrease in the country.
