## Resource

A recent Wall Street Journal article laid out the rising cost of home ownership in a very clear way. From 2019 to 2025, the annual cost of owning a home rose from about $20,600 to about $28,600. That is a 39 percent increase, compared with a 26 percent increase in the consumer price index. The biggest increases were not just mortgage payments. Insurance rose 72 percent. Home maintenance rose 85 percent. Emergency repairs rose 175 percent. The article was written for homeowners. But the same forces apply to investors. A landlord does not get a different price for a roof, a plumber, an HVAC compressor, property insurance, or property taxes simply because the property has tenants. ------------ **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast]( https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1 ) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast]( https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613 ) Website: [ www.victorjm.com ]( http://www.victorjm.com ) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce]( http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce ) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast]( http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734 ) Facebook: [ www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [ podcast@victorjm.com ](mailto: podcast@victorjm.com ) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [ www.ystreetcapital.com ]( http://www.ystreetcapital.com ) Facebook: [ www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital]( http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital )
