First National Real Estate

1. TIPS Keep up appearances. Before offering your property for rent, a property manager will recommend your property must be clean and secure, and that all appliances and facilities are in safe, working order. Once your tenant moves in, your property manager will ensure all repairs and routine maintenance tasks are carried out quickly and satisfactorily. 2.3. Finding the appropriate tenant can be more difficult than it seems. You will need to decide on an advertising strategy after listening to the advice of your property manager. Your property manager will arrange and conduct open and/or private inspections. When deciding what you will charge for rent, it is important that you find the right balance between what you would like to be receiving and what the market will deliver. Your property manager will make a recommendation. Alternatively, you may prefer to inspect nearby vacant properties that are similar in terms of size, quality and location, and get a feel for what other landlords are charging.
