The average Des Moines renter pays about
$675 per month in rent for a two bedroom unit. Over the course a year that's
$8,100, and over the course 5 years that's a total of $40,500! That monthly
rent payment is what we call LOM (Lost Opportunity Money). LOM is money paid
that can never be retrieved or made back.
