Most rental properties have expenses of at least 35% of the rental revenue. This can include property taxes, house insurance, property management, maintenance, materials, water/sewage/garbage, etc. If you are doing a rent-to-own, your expenses are lower because the tenants are responsible for more of the expenses. About 20% is more accurate for a rent to own. You'll still pay for house insurance and taxes, but you probably won't have a property manager. You'll have less maintenance, and your tenant will typically pay for water/sewage/garbage. [2013] - Julie Broad
