Owners

Many people don’t realize just how time consuming owning a piece of investment property is until they’re already well into the thick of it. It isn’t just about buying when the market is low and finding the right person or family to rent to – there’s also a great deal more than that. You have to know exactly how to market a property, for example, to help it stand out against every other home on the market at the same time. You need to know exactly how to separate the good applicants from the bad to make sure that your investment dreams don’t turn into a nightmare once your tenant moves in. As a landlord, it’s also your responsibility to take care of the property and handle all issues that aren’t related to normal “wear and tear.” If a water pipe breaks in the middle of the night, it is up to you to handle it.
