About Us

Rental Income HQ helps people with a property to rent — a first purchase, an inherited house, the home you kept when you moved — decide between a long-term lease and short-term stays, and then run either one well.

The honest-math rules

1. Rentals are not passive income, and we never pretend otherwise. A long-term rental is an investment with 3 a.m. phone calls; a short-term rental is a hospitality job with a spreadsheet. Our numbers include the vacancy, the fees, the cleaning, and the hours — because a decision made on gross revenue is a decision made wrong.
2. Regulations come first, furniture second. Before any short-term rental content sends you shopping, it sends you to your city's permit rules — linked to the official portal. We will never publish anything that helps operate against local rules.
3. No loans, ever. We do not promote mortgages, refinancing, hard-money, or "no money down" anything. That corner of real-estate marketing is where the gurus live, and it will never appear here.
4. No legal advice. State landlord-tenant law and screening content explains the process with official links; the standing pattern is "consult a landlord-tenant attorney in your property's state." Screening content teaches consistent, compliant criteria applied equally to every applicant — fair housing law is not optional and not ours to bend.

How we make money

Some links pay us a commission — insurance quotes, banking, screening, and software tools — clearly marked, never required, and never affecting your price or our math. The state law tables, regulation links, and the Rental Income Index earn us nothing and exist because you needed them before your first tenant or guest.

Our pages are researched and maintained by the Rental Income HQ editorial team. Corrections are welcome at hello@rentalincomehq.com.

Advertiser disclosure: Rental Income HQ may earn a commission when you get a quote or sign up for a tool through links on this site. It never changes your price and never changes our math — the lease-vs-host numbers say what they say, and plenty of what we publish (state law tables, regulation links) earns us nothing.
