Prepare for the tenants
As you stand there look at your house you will notice that there are a few more steps before the house can be rented. In this module we prepare for the tenant.
Outside of the house you need to think about fences, landscaping, mailboxes, house numbers, clothes lines and potentially a patio if the house needs it.
For the house, you might need to get a TV antenna installed. Inside the house, you might need to install flooring. The ceiling light shades are quite often plastic and should be replaced. You might need to install a dishwasher, curtains and blinds.
At this stage I also take out insurance for the property. This is landlords insurance.
Your fun task is to prepare for your tenants
Can you see what the tasks need to be completed on the outside?
What do you feel needs to be completed on the inside?
Review and organise your insurance.
