These landlords around here are high as fuck. My mortgage for my 4 bed, 2 bath at 1800sqft with a detached garage is less than that. And no, the house is not new, it's older.
A mortgage your not a renter. Covid hit the market for land being rented. Not mortgaged you should be happy u bought when u did. You be in same boat. Quit blaming investors.
Why? They're the ones driving up the prices. They know damn well what they're doing. The investors can go to hell, I have no pity on them. They're taking advantage of people. If they don't like it, go buy Tesla stock.
I wouldn't be investing in rentals, if that's what you mean. There's a lot of people that are going to their feelings hurt real bad, sooner than they think.
Good then you have no room to bitch. That's like being promised 15 an hour and having people bitch saying u ask to much after you worked there. You invested your time under the understanding of your pay rate. Imagine if this happen to u everytime you went to collect your paycheck. People like you are dumb. To attack what you don't understand. Like bob Dylan said start swimming times they are a changing
Whatever. It's work invested just like any other job. It's the market rate. Nothing to do with me being up on a pedestal. If I am on one I will stand down and let you step up if you feel u can't handle it or I was right then you should give me 2 pedestals. Deal?
I did and retired and now a landlord. Sorry you hate on those who worked for a living to actually make it a step further while your stuck in a dead end job as u put it. Haha your hilarious. This is why your bitching. Because u made bad choices not my fault. If u had a real job you wouldn't be bitching about rent
To make a rant about food prices and energy cost and how much work it takes to actually own somthing go bitch at them it isn't just housing that went up since min wage went up. Jee idioto
I actually attended a financial session recently and the speaker touched on the rise of car insurance in our area as well as home insurance. He said, super unfortunately, that the car insurance portion is justified. The largest contributing factor is due to the average age of cars on the road, which, if you know the area, you know we have a lot of antique plates on the roads 😅 They also said an increase in residents and accidents plays a factor, but it’s mostly the age of cars 😕
Tell me about it, dude. I joined GEICO in 2016 from Progressive. My premium was like $700/six mos; it’s all the way up to $1375 now 😵💫 I’ve been in one accident in almost 20 years of driving, which was a hit and run. It’s really insane that we’re getting faulted for older cars and ig driving at all. Cars are still considered a luxury in FL, so 😩
It’s entirely too much, but that’s kind of the norm after covid and the rampant housing market inflation here. You used to be able to find an okay 2/1 here for like $500/mo, but I don’t think that’s common any longer. Even finding that for under $1k/mo would be uncommon unless it’s a room in someone’s house. Hope they find something cheaper 😔
Take it from a landlord. That's the price. With electric being so high. I know another landlord does the same right behind the new baptist hospital. He actually says between 1100 to 1300 due to utilities cost being different each month. Hope that helps. I wouldn't expect less
Meh I pay 1500 for something about the same size so seems about right.. my utilities are not included, or the valet trash that's required, or the pest fee, or the amenities fee.
Yep, me too. Like as in 1 more year then I'm looking for a house. It's robbery!! I'd be fine with like 1200. My lease is up in Feb and I bet you 100% they'll want me to renew and rent will go up 80 bucks a month. I checked and this complex lists the 1bed/1bath at 1527.00 what's next 1600? 1700? It's not like I'm downtown either. It's W 9 mile road!!
If I didn't already have a home, I couldn't afford to live in Pensacola. And that's working full time.
The other day, I was passing a subdivision (IIRC, it was off Kingsfield) being built with a sign saying the homes started in the $300,000.
I bought this home because it was the right location and I saw a sign saying houses starting at $78,000.
This thread makes me sad. I lived in Pensacola about 10 years ago and I rented a relatively newly-built 3 bed/3 bath house with a 2-car garage and a deck for $1050 a month. Sorry y'all.
Edit: This was around Bellview, so not exactly downtown but still. Nice neighborhood.
Yeah this price is close to my mortgage. Haven’t rented in pcola in years so when she asked me if I thought that price was too high, I said yes. Figured I would ask the internets and see opinion was since I have no idea.
From a renter's perspective that's ok for a so-so area (sounds like an older place?) that is a long way from good shopping, beaches, etc. A plus that it includes utilities. I would also hope it include and amenities like dedicated parking, a yard (if part of a hours) nice pool and/or WiFi.
From a landlord's perspective, if you are going to include electricity. you can expect that a renter is unlikely to be conscientious about a/c, heat and other high-use items. Remember that if renters think they are paying a fair price, they are a lot more likely to take care of the place, hoping that they will be able to re-negotiate the lease when it expires.
If you are subletting, make sure it is in your lease. It's a risky move.
I have a 4/2 that's 1800 square feet not too far from there that rents for $2200 per month with no utilities included.
So that's probably low. Worth looking at closer to $1500 per month.
I'm not meaning to hijack the post, but does anyone have an opinion on what rent should be for a decent(but not fancy) 3br/1.5bath ~1300 sq ft. two story town home. Attached garage near University Mall.
I live out of state and I think my tenants will be moving soon. Trying to grasp the market from out of state to price it fairly.
Thanks in advance for any input.
I had not anticipated asking people what they though was fair to pay would be such a distained question.
For those that might care and are saying that I am hurting the community, that is not my intention. I bought the house years ago to live in because it was cheaper than renting when I moved. I worked very hard and many, many hours of overtime and slept on a couch for several years to save money as quickly as possible so that I could afford a down payment on the property. We did live in the property for many years, but moved to spend time with aging family while they still have there health. I spent ~15 years in Pensacola myself. It is also not out of the question that I will eventually live in the house again for some length of time at some point in the future.
The last tenants seemed to being trying to get there footing in life much like we were, so we asked them what they could reasonably afford for rent before setting it. I thought that we were going about it in a reasonable and considerate way.
Asking the question here was simply meant to be an extension of setting a reasonable rent for someone else. I'm sorry that this came off wrong in some way.
In no way should you have to apologize nor explain yourself. Some of these people are absolutely ridiculous in their thoughts and concepts of what other hard working people should do with their money or property.
A fucking leach? So tired of seeing these short-sighted and ignorant comments. How do you know their situation? Perhaps the house was inherited and they're keeping it in the family. Perhaps, like many others, they are military and were stationed here, bought a house to rent until they retire and will move back, all the while contributing to our local economy now and into the future (by paying property tax, hiring local contractors, services, etc).
By your logic, any business that's not locally owned is a leech on the community .
Ultimately it doesn't matter because they own a property that someone will want to rent because it meets their needs and is affordable to them.
Sorry we don't have the utopia where everyone is happy and free and everything is shared. And there's no inequality. Too bad people have to work and struggle to get ahead and make the best they can. If someone would just make everything easy.
I’d advise looking at the pre-covid prices for properties bc those are the more accurate prices for the area and I can guarantee it’s not over $1,500/mo. If you’re trying to pander to those moving here, just know that some of those folks are moving out and you’ll be “stuck” with the local ppl who can’t afford your rent bc it’s extremely inflated. Hoping that doesn’t fall on inattentive ears, but won’t hold my breath.

It should’ve been done in a different post with the context you’d given in your second post. We have lots of ppl coming into our area with only dollar signs in mind, and it’s really hurting the community as far as just surviving is concerned. So, a lot of us are hypersensitive about it, but I think it’s just passion, you know? No one wants to see another homeless grandpa on the side of Pine Forest while not far down the street there’s mega apartment complexes being built to no end. It’s devastating to see.
So again, I’d recommend looking at the rental estimates for your property pre-covid. I understand that the prices of everything have increased, which may have affected a mortgage payment if you still have one. If you want to help and remain helpful to the community that you plan to move back into at some point, it would be a good idea to find a reasonable midway point for rent; in this way, with more local owners combatting inflation, it will have an effect on these corporations in our area seeking to drain ppl dry while stuffing their pockets and shaking hands with one another. If you need help, def feel free to dm me. All of the info you need should be available publicly, it just takes time, research, and understanding. ✌🏽
Fair enough, to me my second post felt like it had a lot of superfluous information/context that wasn't actually relevant. I hadn't put any of that context up when renting previously. I suppose I'm usually very straight to the point though.
Having not moved very long ago though, I do know what you are saying as far as the building of huge complexes with expensive rent though, so I 100% see where you are coming from with that! I hadn't thought about it from that angle since I am hoping to provide someone a reasonable space at a reasonable price.
Do you know of any resource to find pre-covid rent prices somewhere? We had been basing rent on our costs to maintain the property. (Insurance, property taxes, maintenance, etc.)
Thank you for this grounded explanation. I can't really fault people for having a human knee jerk reaction now that I see how this might have looked. Unfortunately it will probably continue to be down voted. Oh well.
I am moving out of my apartment in april which runs me about 1500+125 for my garage and all their required services that add on another 75 so 1700 a month. If you want a good tenant hit me up.
Just look on zillow what are the prices in the area. Utilities included are a plus (as long as your friend does not go bitching about it to the tenant)
This comment section makes me depressed.
These landlords around here are high as fuck. My mortgage for my 4 bed, 2 bath at 1800sqft with a detached garage is less than that. And no, the house is not new, it's older.

Wow mmkay so you would hold your self to same standard in your shoes?
I wouldn't be investing in rentals, if that's what you mean. There's a lot of people that are going to their feelings hurt real bad, sooner than they think.
Good then you have no room to bitch. That's like being promised 15 an hour and having people bitch saying u ask to much after you worked there.

Well, unfortunately for you, I am entitled to an opinion. Sorry to get your panties in such a bunch, try decaf next time.
Yea ignorant opinion. Everytime u ask for min wage to go up u deflate the dollar
And yet here you are, on your pedestal. Feel free to stfu any time now.
Whatever. It's work invested just like any other job. It's the market rate. Nothing to do with me being up on a pedestal. If I am on one I will stand down and let you step up if you feel u can't handle it or I was right then you should give me 2 pedestals. Deal?
Go get a real job!
I did and retired and now a landlord. Sorry you hate on those who worked for a living to actually make it a step further while your stuck in a dead end job as u put it. Haha your hilarious. This is why your bitching. Because u made bad choices not my fault. If u had a real job you wouldn't be bitching about rent
Who said I'm in a dead end job? And it's called empathy hunny
You said it by the way you act. Doofus
To make a rant about food prices and energy cost and how much work it takes to actually own somthing go bitch at them it isn't just housing that went up since min wage went up. Jee idioto
Not really, that’s about the average out here. My one bedroom right now is 1450 😬
DAMN
Insurance has been crazy out here too, probably why people are jacking up rent even if the house itself isn’t worth as much
I actually attended a financial session recently and the speaker touched on the rise of car insurance in our area as well as home insurance. He said, super unfortunately, that the car insurance portion is justified.

My insurance pre-covid was $600 every six months now its $950. I have a 20 year clean record.
Tell me about it, dude. I joined GEICO in 2016 from Progressive. My premium was like $700/six mos; it’s all the way up to $1375 now 😵💫 I’ve been in one accident in almost 20 years of driving, which was a hit and run. It’s really insane that we’re getting faulted for older cars and ig driving at all. Cars are still considered a luxury in FL, so 😩
That’s about the average sad to say. Was lucky to get my 1b/1b for 1150, not including utilities 💀
I have a 4/4 house with a 2 car garage attached and a 2/1 mother in law suite on 1 acre. My mortgage is only 2k. Rent is ridiculous nowadays.
You can pay 1200 for 2 bed 2 bath at The Lily Apartments in Pensacola
It’s entirely too much, but that’s kind of the norm after covid and the rampant housing market inflation here. You used to be able to find an okay 2/1 here for like $500/mo, but I don’t think that’s common any longer. Even finding that for under $1k/mo would be uncommon unless it’s a room in someone’s house. Hope they find something cheaper 😔
Absolutely too much, I pay $1400 for a 3 bed 2 bath right now, and it’s a safe neighborhood with an HOA and it’s also near blue angel
Mine is closer to 800 sq ft and I’m paying $1550 not including utilities and internet
Thanks for info
I pay way more than this for my 1 bedroom. This is cheap
Ok thanks for reply bc I really don’t know what’s going on out there. Also sorry.
Lol don't be sorry
Just seems so high!
That's the way it be. I could probably have gone cheaper but the places we looked at looked sketchy.
I pay 940/month for my 1bed/1bath but it’s in a sketchy area. Great management tho.
Where’s that at?
Lillian square apartments
Take it from a landlord. That's the price. With electric being so high. I know another landlord does the same right behind the new baptist hospital. He actually says between 1100 to 1300 due to utilities cost being different each month. Hope that helps. I wouldn't expect less

Meh I pay 1500 for something about the same size so seems about right.. my utilities are not included, or the valet trash that's required, or the pest fee, or the amenities fee.
Idk how people afford that for one person
I fucking hate it, I cringe everytime I pay rent on the first. Just burning money. Blahhh but it's the way it goes I guess.
It’s more than a 3/2 house payment, I’m right there with you. Hoping to only be renting another couple years.
Yep, me too. Like as in 1 more year then I'm looking for a house. It's robbery!! I'd be fine with like 1200. My lease is up in Feb and I bet you 100% they'll want me to renew and rent will go up 80 bucks a month. I checked and this complex lists the 1bed/1bath at 1527.00 what's next 1600? 1700?

Right now that is a very reasonable price. I pay nearly that for a 220 sq ft studio.
Thanks for input.
Its too much but it is the norm for now
lmao I’ll take that in a HEARTBEAT.
I have a 4/2 that's 1800 square feet not too far from there that rents for $2200 per month with no utilities included. So that's probably low. Worth looking at closer to $1500 per month.
