996 - How to Prepare a Property for Renters Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

If you’re like many property owners, you want to use your investment property to make rental income. But before you can get to the cash flow part, you likely need to rehab and prepare the rental property for tenants. Rehabbing a home isn’t the same as preparing a home for rental, though. Not all homes require rehabbing, but all rental properties must be prepared for prospective tenants.

There’s a lot to know about being a homeowner with rental properties, and landlords must understand their rights and tenants’ rights to meet any legal requirements when preparing a home for a new renter. These details can guide you through rehabbing your rental property and getting it ready for new tenants so you can get your home onto the rental market sooner.

995 - How Much Does a Home Inspection Cost? Part 2 Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

Water damage and moisture issues can be anything from a pipe leak to a foundation issue. However, if not taken care of promptly, it can lead to mold growth and cause further structural damage.

Once the homeowner hires a water mitigation company to address the damage and prevent further problems, the issue is usually resolved. The cost of water damage varies significantly based on the extent of it. Even if it’s a hefty price tag, it’s worth paying for if it means your health is at risk and circumventing your real estate transaction.
