Making the decision to rent your home can be difficult as well as rewarding. Several people have made the decision to rent out their family home. This additional income can help significantly in paying for other expenses. There are many reasons to rent your home, and you should carefully consider the pros and cons of this choice.
One of the considerations should be whether or not you will be living in close enough proximity to care for the property should there be a need of repairs. Property managers charge a fee to make sure repairs and other duties are taken care of in the absence of the actual property owner. Many property managers will also take care of rent collection and other unpleasant tasks. If you hire a property manager or property management company, make sure you have checked into their reputation to ensure your peace of mind.
If you are living in the area, you might decide to save the money on a property manager and take care of it yourself. In this event, you should have emergency numbers on hand for the people you have used before for electrical, plumbing, cooling and heating repairs. Unless you are a jack-of-all-trades, you will definitely need experts to keep your rental home in top shape.
Where will you advertise your rental property? The local newspaper is always a good choice, but there are also many no-cost and low-cost websites on the Internet that people use for just this purpose. Make sure to write your advertisement with clear details. Include pictures if possible.
A rental contract is a must-have item for a property owner. Contracts can be purchased at local office supply stores or you can have an attorney draft one for a fee. When you begin to meet with prospective renters, you should have a plan as to how you will pick the one with which to sign a contract. Of course, initial feelings should never be discounted, there is something to be said for having someone passing a background and credit check. These services can cost money, so check for competitive rates and possible free options.
The most important thing of all should be checking with local and state statutes concerning property owner and tenant law. There might be zoning laws in your city that prohibit renting your home or at least put restrictions on your ability to rent your home. Being aware of your rights before getting wrapped up in a legal contract is in everyone's best interest.
When learning the ins and outs of renting practices it is best to check with local sources. State regulatory agencies should be able to provide much of what you would need to know. Websites for local regulatory agencies will often provide many useful legal forms. Another source would be local real estate agents or property management agencies. The local library should also have documentation that can assist to ensure you are complying with the local laws. Above all use trusted sources for the information you require. Infomercials and get rich quick seminars are not the places to realistically find sources of information that you can trust.
