How One Landlord Uses the 1 Percent Rule to Vet Rentals

Lucas and Luna explore the 1 percent rule—the classic rental vetting metric that says monthly rent should be at least 1 percent of purchase price. They break down why it works in some markets, where it falls short, and how one landlord applies it flexibly in a high-cost city by combining it with cash-on-cash return. Using a concrete example from a midwestern duplex and a coastal condo, they show how the rule is a screening tool, not a hard filter, and how to adjust it with local cap rates and interest rates. If you've ever wondered whether the 1 percent rule is still relevant in 2026, this episode gives you a practical framework to decide for yourself. #RealEstate #RentalProperties #CashFlow #1PercentRule #LandlordTips #PropertyInvesting #RealEstateWealth #RealEstateInvesting #Finance #Investing #RentalIncome #CapRate #CashOnCash #PropertyManagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #WealthBuilding #PassiveIncome Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
