Values of Apple Valley Investment Homes are still low in the Victor Valley area, so most people can buy homes and have a lower home payment then paying rent. But to everyone's supprise Apple Valley rental homes are still in demand. Why?

First, lets talk about why people are comming to the Victor Valley area from the LA Basin or Down the Hill as we call it. Low interest rates has created the domino effect. Prices of homes down the hill have sored out of sight. Today less people qualify to buy Apple Valley homes, so more people are renting creating a shortage of rental homes. Rents have increased making people look at the Victor Valley area where Apple Valley rental homes are still reasonably priced.

To qualify for a typical mortgage, people need at least two of the follwing items: 1) down payment 2) good credit 3) good job. As a property management company, we see rental applicants everyday and most people have the job but lack the down payment and/or credit. These people have no choice but to rent until they can improve their financial position. This has created the demand for Apple Valley rental homes in the Victor Valley area.

Since Apple Valley rental homes are in demand, we see investors buying new track homes and renting them out. As a former landlord, I see this as a poor short-term investment today.

Because we have too many investors who bought new Apple Valley homes here. New rental homes have dropped to $1,200 and $1,300. Depending on the financing, the investor probably has a negative cash flow. Investors are counting on flipping Apple Valley homes in six months. But, we now have an excess inventory of investor homes on the market for sale making it harder to make short term profit. So be prepared to hold homes for a while.

The rental formula is simple. Today, rents should be from $1100-$1,200 depending on the square footage and these Apple Valley homes rent fast. Our entants are required to have a gross income of 3 times the rent, therefore most people qualify for our rental homes. People who can afford $1,200+ can usually qualify to buy Apple Valley homes. This means there are fewer renters who pay $1,200+, so it takes longer to find a good tenant. Having empty rental homes for 2-3 months can keep the investor in a negative cash flow.

To this situation. Having a larger down payment can offset the negative cash flow, but then the Apple Valley investor is not fully leveraging her/his money.
