Should You Rent Your Home?
Thinking of renting your home? Where do you start?
Get the house in shape, including interior and exterior painting and patching, carpet cleaning, appliance tune-up, ensuring adequate insulation, and fixing what needs fixing.
A property management company can research prices in your area, or you can look in the real estate section of your Sunday paper.
It’s not essential to hire a property manager, but it can make life easier, especially if you move out of the area. Interview at least three companies. Ask about accreditation, customer service, references, tenant screening, experience, vacancy rates, maintenance, monthly reporting, handling evictions, insurance, fee structure, and inspection of the property.
If your considering renting your home, give me a call and I'll walk you thru step by step, I'll put you in touch with a great property management company and what type of income you can expect from your rental.
