Rental Arbitrage Explained | Costs, Profit, & How to Start

Rental arbitrage sounds great in theory. You don’t have to buy a house, but you get all the profit of owning a rental. There are no maintenance, capital expenditure, or standard investment costs. So what’s the downside? Well, if you’re both a real estate investor and arbitrager like Amelia and Grace, there really isn’t one!

On top of running sizable portfolios that are already gaining equity, Amelia and Grace have decided to venture into a more cash flow-friendly route of investing. With some simple startup costs like a first month’s deposit and a grand or two for furnishings, you too can start raking in cash flow without jumping through the hoops of financing your own property. So, if you’re looking to get into rental arbitrage, Airbnb arbitrage, or anything else in between, this is the exact place to start!

Would you start arbitrating rental units to make cash flow? Or are you more focused on long-term equity gains? Would you do both? Let us know in the comments below!
