1. Have a read through the legalities and the budget<\/strong><\/h3>\nFamiliarize yourself with your state’s Housing Laws, as well as the Federal Law.<\/p>\n
By understanding these laws, it will protect buyers and renters from being discriminated against during real estate transactions and avoid any unwanted legal actions after the agreement has been signed.<\/p>\n
As for the budget, get an official valuation but do so only after you have repaired and prepared your property for others to live in.<\/p>\n
2. Choose a property agent or do-it-yourself?<\/strong><\/h3>\nBefore you start the process, decide if you wish to use the service of a property agent for tasks such as screening tenants, communicating with said tenants, securing a lease and maintaining the property.<\/p>\n
Using an agent can be appealing especially for long-distance landlords, but there is a fee of a monthly rent to be provided to the property agent.<\/p>\n
Still, it is possible to manage the property yourself though it’s advisable to have a local contact in case of emergencies.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h3>\n3. Put an effort in your property<\/strong><\/h3>\nTenants who are looking to rent are always looking for a place to call their temporary home, to either adapt to new surroundings or grow roots.<\/p>\n
Tenants are looking for move-in ready, clean homes, so pay attention to:<\/p>\n
\n- Remove and\/or replace the flooring<\/li>\n
- Update the bathroom and\/or kitchen<\/li>\n
- Fix minor repairs such as leaky faucets and running toilet<\/li>\n
- Repainting in neutral tones<\/li>\n
- Clean the property like it’s never been cleaned<\/li>\n
- Be prepared, prospective tenants will open every door, look in every room and inspect every appliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
4. Understanding your paperwork<\/strong><\/h3>\nOf course, there’s always paperwork involved. If you are using an agent, they’ll handle much of these steps for you.<\/p>\n
\n- Tenant screening<\/li>\n
- Monthly rent plus utilities<\/li>\n
- Log of income and expenses for repairs’<\/li>\n
- Home warranty paperwork<\/li>\n
- Guidance for cosmetic changes<\/li>\n
- Policies of pets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/h3>\n5. Have the mindset of a tenant<\/strong><\/h3>\nTake a final walk through the home and look at it through the eyes of a potential tenant. Better yet, have a friend walk through and give you their honest assessment.<\/p>\n
Some other information you can leave behind to help create the best experience for your renters:<\/p>\n
\n- Owner manuals<\/li>\n
- A rental binder highlighting amenities – include takeout flyers, local stores, and restaurants<\/li>\n
- Contact details of the property agent and yours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
