Rent Smarter, Not Harder: How to Make More Money from Your Property | PadSplit

Been doing this for the past 6 years, currently on my 4th home with 20+ rooms. Great cash flow I also have a free app that helps DIY landlords manage their roommates/room rentals

I cannot believe I just finished watching this. I started watching the video (and stopped after 2 minutes) when it was uploaded and by the time I started my midterm rental. This is the strategy I am doing right now, only smaller, 3 beds 3 baths. i think at this point I’ll just observe and learn how Padsplit do it and apply it to a smaller space. It’s interesting that it seems like room renters, esp locals, think that landlords running a place like this are greedy, it is a business strategy! it is sometimes disappointing that after you put an effort to make a comfortable place to stay and price it reasonably, all they can see is a greedy person behind it. and i am directly talking about the locals who wish to save money by living in a roomshare. So as much as possible avoid local renters in a C neighborhood, 9/10 it’s not gonna work for them. There are people from out of state who are comfortable living in a C neighborhood, save your space for them.

[@ginggia9596]

First, Thank you Jesse for touching on this subject for the midterm space..havent heard anyone really talking about this 👍

absolutely thanks for watching Gia!

Actually, you are converting your regular house into a rooming house. You are going to go into a totally different property class, and if you don't, you are violating property codes and facing penalties to fines. It's not that simple, the way this guy is saying it. Do this, do that.

[@JesseVasquezAirVenture]

Definitely always check local laws and codes

[@jonishikawa4570]

Great video Jesse.... I have learned a lot from watching your channel. Awesome content. I do have a couple questions if you happen to know regarding this Padsplit. I was going to contact them as well, but didn't know if you just happened to know. thanks again.. -- Does your house need to be inspected or have certain requirements? --If the renter damages the property, does padsplit pay for it or who is responsible? ---I heard them say if you need to evict, they support, but physical removal is our responsibility -- So, do they do the eviction and court paperwork or how much do they help with the eviction process? -- You didn't ask how established they are in California as I am also here. Do they operate in southern cali?

[@JesseVasquezAirVenture]

Hey, what’s up man! Thanks for connecting, the house needs to be split up with at least five rooms. If the renter damages the property, it is the guests that will pay. They are actually going to release some information and are coming to California this month. There is a huge need for affordable housing here.

[@Gracetochange]

Please don't get greedy with the rent cost. Do it to help people find a home with an affordable rate. You will be more blessed if you thinK affordable 🙌🙌🙌

This seems like a great concept. The only piece I’m still trying to wrap my head around is if someone is doing the BRRR method. After renovating & converting the house to all these rooms wouldn’t someone have a hard time finding comps for a refinance?

I've been checking the demand in Atlanta on Airbnb and it's low. Many host calenders have alot of vacancies especially if the unit is a shared bath unit.

[@JesseVasquezAirVenture]

I’m not sure if those would be complete comparisons as a Airbnb prices are typically higher by the room. These are more “affordable housing” rooms

[@robneundorf]

​ @EllisFromPadSplit How are you getting around the zoning laws as these are legally considered Boarding houses which are considered commercial zoned since there is more than 3 unrelated individuals living under one roof?

[@catalinalee1]

Maybe profit for the host or investor, but it can be a headache, specially for guests or tenants who rent by room.

[@JesseVasquezAirVenture]

Agree it can be with different personalities- padsplit handles a most of the issues / communication to my understanding

[@shar1202]

I actually live in a Padsplit and the Host are Horrible. I had to pay for pest control after asking for a month. The house has mice. I went to go vent to a neighbor and the neighbor said he about to have the home shut down because they are illegal running the business here. He googled the address and the address is listed as a 3 bedroom property. It is actually a 8 unit house,. They do that to not pay the higher cost in taxes. He also pulled the deed and the deed say 3 bedroom. He called the tax office and want me to go and show on my phone proof of address and bedrooms. The house also got new owners this year and if they received a mortgage on a 3 bedroom property then it will be mortgage fraud. Neighbors are starting to crack down. At this point im all for it.

Yeah that’s awful. Sounds like you have some slumlords- I’m sorry to hear that

[@gardyvastey5190]

Hello Jesse…I’ve been following you for about a year now. I would like your opinion about using skoolie’s or airstreams for mid term rental. What is your opinion about that? I’m creating a small village with tiny houses ( skoolies, containers, airstreams) for mid term rentals

[@JesseVasquezAirVenture]

I like the idea for more of a short term rental situation. I just don’t see longer term living in an airstream comfortable. I would do this with tiny houses, I believe that would work but anything mobile might be hard. Keep in mind your competing with the hotel industry extended type stays.

[@gardyvastey5190]

Would a container house more suitable for that ?

[@Emanuelethio]

i called my city zoning office and they said that renting rooms seperately is not allowed. unless it is airbnb. Should I search for a different city to try this method?

[@EstatusBestia]

Hold on hold on did I hear correctly? You’re adding rooms to have a total of 7 and you profit will only be $1,200? That seems skim when you’re making $4k and above on the mid-term model. Why would you take on this business model?

[@porschaconnor2562]

How does an owner register their property?

Can I ask what a “normal” one time move in fee usually is? Same as deposit on LTR?

[@ellistotle]

It varies as a host can set it but we recommend anything from $100-200 to cover the move out cleaning and then some.

[@Ccain-mx6jo]

Not sure if I missed it but questions! what if they don't get along? What's the process? Eviction? And what happens if property is damaged? There's no deposit . And lastly, I just bought a triplex, each have 2 bedroom and a bathroom. Could this work since it's technically 6 bedrooms then?

[@paullochner8655]

I have a question. How does padsplit stop gang members (MS13) from renting rooms, or other activities--renting a room and then dealing out of it? Where I live in Maryland there is a huge gang problem which the counties do not want the public to know about, and these are the issues that occur to people renting out rooms on their own.

[@EllisFromPadSplit]

The good thing about our model is that if any member is violating the membership guidelines (very similar to that of a traditional lease's rules), the other members in the home will reach out to our team to investigate and resolve. All PadSplit members are incentivized to abide by the guidelines to be able to maintain a comfortable, drama-free, and safe living experience.

[@JesseVasquezAirVenture]

they screen tenants, background check etc

[@qwertyasdfg1261]

@@EllisFromPadSplit or they end up being melted in a oil barrel or cut into pieces and stashed inside the wall......also seems like a heroin junkies dream

[@HULYRICSTV]

So they are basically signing a non-depository agreement tenants aka borrowers and paying the landlords upfront and collecting their money plus interest (APR) on the back end. Nice! So they are probably using corelogic credco to screen these pre qualified renters aka borrowers before getting these “members” onboard, now if get tricky with their business structure because they are calling them members and not tenants. Is this a cooperative business model. Question is what business structure allows its members to borrow money from the company and paying them back through a portion of their paycheck? I maybe off here but I doubt it.
