The right property with the wrong tenants can be costly too. It’s worth taking your time, even if it means that your property is empty for a little longer. Find tenants that you trust to take care of your property and to treat it like their own. Find people that are happy to do smaller jobs themselves, and that won’t be calling on you every time a light bulb needs changing. If you can find the right people, you might have the same tenants for years, saving yourself time and money as every year goes by.
Don’t Get Carried Away
Starting small is ok. Try renting out a room, or a floor in your own home, or rent out an inherited property to help you to get to grips with real estate. You can always expand when you are ready.
