It’s Business or Real Estate Investment
Does the idea of investing is to buy, improve and sell or hire is business?
One thing is to do business with a relative or friend, another to invest in a property at the expense of potential tenants, which can be a great unknown.
Your tenants are kind of partners, because you depend on them to make their mortgage payments. Any veteran can tell the owner that good tenants who pay on time and take care of the property are increasingly difficult to find.
If you’re investing in a property located in a neighborhood that upgrades will be more likely to deal with tenants who can not trust.
A bad tenant can be a big nightmare, because often the laws favor them and their removal is almost always a difficult and stressful.
As if all this were not enough, if a neighborhood begins to lose more, or if unexpected circumstances arise, it might be difficult to find tenants.
For example, often, homeowners on the coast are at the mercy of conditions beyond their control. The increasing marine pollution and adverse weather forecasts scare off tenants from the beaches, forcing owners to suffer a season without a tenancy or lower the rent.
None of these options is desirable, and both cause the investors have to pay substantial sums of money.
A good way to combat potential problems with tenants is requesting payment of the first and last month’s rent (and possibly even an amount as security deposit) and plan ahead for any situation in which a tenant could cause problems.
