The LBI Rental Market
There are a few things to consider if you are looking at buying a rental property on LBI:
Rental Income is Taxable-This is a point often forgotten but the rental income can make a major impact on your personal taxes
Location Counts!-Oceanside homes cost more to buy but are more popular rentals so they can represent a safer investment.
Liability-You, as a landlord, have certain liabilities and responsibilities to provide a clean and safe dwelling for summer tenants. It is for this reason you see many rental homes owner under an “LLC” title.
Renting is a Business-The rental market is subject to the ups and downs of the economy so you must realize that you may not be able to always rent your property for every week. If you are dependent upon the rental income to pay your mortgage, you may want to consider a less expensive property to help free the rental dependency.
