Property Management
/- you aren't just looking for bodies to fill your property - you want QUALITY tenants
- quality tenants who will rent from you for years, so that you don't have to worry about vacancy
- did they spend a long time renting from their previous landlords? Or do they move every year?
- do they have consistent job history?
- do they have non-family references?
- actually call previous landlords and references - it is VERY important to know who will be taking care of your investment property
- consider pulling a background and/or credit check
- market your property ahead of vacancy
- put together the right team for success
- be aware of fair housing rules and regulations
- consider collecting rent via ACH - electronic funds transfer
- motivate your tenants to care for your property
- does your contract cover you? or do you need it reviewed by an attorney?
