Hiring a Professional Property Manager
System - Thursday, December 11, 2014
When the day comes that you decide to rent your condo, house or townhouse there are important decisions to make. A professional property manager can help prepare you for a successful property management experience. Below are some of the questions that need to be decided before you answer the question of rental rate?
- What is going to be included in the rental rate? Landscaping, pest control, trash collection, pool maintenance (if applicable), water?
- Are you going to accept pets? If so, any restrictions? Refundable deposit or non-refundable pet fee? Require tenant to have renter’s insurance that includes a pet liability rider?
- Are you going to get a planned maintenance agreement on the HVAC?
- Have you updated your insurance to make sure they know the property is being used as a rental?
