Guaranteed rent: A must read for property investors

Does an investment property with guaranteed tenant rent sound too good to be true? It's not, if you make carefully considered choices with your property investment.

Does an investment property with guaranteed tenant rent sound too good to be true? It’s not, if you make carefully considered choices with your property investment. Read on to find out how you can get an investment property with a rental guarantee so that you can reap the benefits.

The landlord benefits of guaranteed rent

Guaranteed rent can provide you with a number of property management benefits as a landlord:

  • stress-free tenant vacancy periods.

Even if your investment property doesn’t have a tenant, you will still earn rental income.

  • income stability.

This stability can help you to budget your finances and make your investment property loan repayments more easily.

  • peace of mind financially.

Many property investors rely on tenant income to help them make their loan repayments. When that income is unreliable, it naturally causes landlords concern about meeting obligations with borrowers. However, when there is guaranteed rent on an investment property, it lowers the exposure to tenant vacancy periods and lessens their negative impact on investment property loan repayments.

  • a higher return on investment.

Guaranteed rent can minimise the financial impact of any initial vacancy period on your investment property. You can earn rental income even when your property is vacant, boosting your ROI.

  • interstate investment opportunities.

A rental guarantee can remove the uncertainty of buying a potentially lucrative investment property interstate where you may be unsure of the tenant demand. You can rest assured that your property will be earning income even if it’s vacant.

Landlord hassles when rent is not guaranteed

Guaranteed rent can also help you to avoid a lot of property management hassles as a landlord:

  • stressful tenant vacancy periods.

Vacant properties don’t earn income unless they have guaranteed rent. The longer they remain vacant, the bigger the negative impact, and the higher the investment stress levels can be.

  • difficulty borrowing for future properties.

If an unreliable rental income causes you to miss repayments on your investment property, this can have a negative impact on your credit rating and therefore your ability to borrow in future may be limited.

  • fluctuating income.

When your rental income isn’t guaranteed, your income will fluctuate, making it harder to budget and plan your finances (including any loan repayments).

  • lower return on investment.

Vacant properties without guaranteed rent have a reduced income-earning potential and therefore a potentially lower ROI.

  • less non-local investment opportunities.

If you invest in properties without guaranteed rent, you would be wiser to invest locally where you know the tenant demand. This may prevent you from investing in more lucrative property opportunities interstate.

Vacant properties without guaranteed rent have a reduced income-earning potential.

The bottom line

The ability of a rental property to generate tenant income should be a primary consideration for any landlord before making the decision to buy. Any investment property that doesn’t come with a rental guarantee has increased investment risk. A rental guarantee helps you to reduce your investment risk and makes it more attractive as a result.
