OWNERS AND INVESTORS

If you own rental property, ask yourself these questions:

  • Do I sometimes feel that I am spending all of my time processing checks, paying vendors, saving receipts and performing all of the accounting necessary for my rental home?
  • Do I struggle with the process of advertising and spending all of my free time showing my vacant home?
  • Do I worry about the most cost effective way to deal with the move-in/move-out process and making my rental home marketable for new residents?
  • Am I prepared to interview residents, collect application fees and accept and process applications? Am I running credit, checking landlord references and running background checks?
  • Am I tired of having to deal with the collection of rent, late payments, and bounced checks?
  • Am I dreading confrontations with tenants, trying to convince them to take care of the property, remove unapproved roommates or unauthorized pets?
  • Am I finding the time to keep up with the ever-changing fair housing laws and other legislation regarding tenancy, including lead-based paint, radon gas and toxic mold policies? Am I concerned about the possibility of a resident suing me…and winning?
