We have come up with three significant benefits of owning a long-term rental. When you use our long-term rental team, we will share some of our secrets with you.

One of the best benefits that we have seen this year is how quickly the market can change. Right now, is the perfect time to purchase a home as you may require a 2nd home in the area. With that said, allowing Village Properties to assist you in making that home into a long-term rental for you. As the market continues to grow, property values will continue to increase. This, in turn, means that rental prices could go up, which means that your long-term rental will appreciate over time.

Plan for Retirement

Another benefit of putting your home into our long-term rental program is getting to plan for retirement. With a steady flow of income from your rental, you will be able to pay off debt more quickly and save for retirement. Many people these days don’t see the return on the investment of owning a second home and renting it out longer than one year, but we do. We want to see you succeed as a homeowner and be able to retire and not work forever.

Appreciation

3 Reasons Why Property Wellness Checks are Needed

Are you a homeowner with a property that you’d love to enroll in our long-term rental program? Do you have questions about a property wellness check and why you need one? We at Village Properties have the answers to those questions, and we thought that now is the perfect time to share them with you. We know that making sure your home is well taken care of and doing wellness checks will help save you money in the long run.

Condition of Your Property

Like your personal home, you want to make sure that your property, whether it has tenants in it or is vacant, is well taken care of. When you allow us at Village Properties to handle the maintenance of your long-term rental, we will ensure that your home is properly cared for. That includes periodic checks on your home to ensure that any issues are taken care of promptly. Doing so will save you time from coming and checking on your rental and money, as we will make sure any repairs are taken care of. No need to worry about it and let the professionals take control.

Smoke Detectors

Another excellent reason property wellness checks are needed to ensure that all your smoke detectors are in working order. You never know when you will need them, so making sure they perform is necessary. We do everything from checking their expiration dates to changing the essential batteries. If any rooms don’t have alarms in them, we will make sure to alert you, and we can also install them for you.

Heating & Cooling

One of the benefits of having us handle your long-term rental is making sure that the heating and cooling part of your home is working correctly. If you notice that your heat is not working correctly during the colder months, it could lead to frozen pipes or unhappy tenants. We will notify the property owner and handle any issues that could prevent your home from being rented. We know that having a rental home is a luxury for many but having to make costly repairs is not fun. Don’t worry about your home or vacant home being neglected as we will look after it as it was our own home.

Why It’s Important to Have a Licensed Property Manager for Your Long-Term Rental Property

For many homeowners, when you have a long-term rental property, finding the perfect property manager may seem daunting. But what about if that property manager wasn’t doing everything, they could help take care of your property? Would that make you uncomfortable to let the management company take over your property? These are all valid questions that we often get asked with Village Properties, and we are here to answer these for you.

What Does a Property Manager Do?

You may have seen other property management companies that say they have an outstanding property manager, but are they? We at Village Properties are a rental property management team that cares for our clients and their properties. We take pride in having a licensed property manager who keeps up with everything, including the laws and codes. Our property manager, Justin, is one of those licensed property managers we can’t recommend enough. He continues to further his education yearly to ensure that your property is up to date on all the current and new laws. We don’t want to see you have to pay out of pocket for something that your property manager could have easily rectified by knowing the tenant-landlord law.

When Should You Hire a Property Management Company?

This is another question that our prospected property owners and we have to say that you will know when the time comes. Rather than worrying about all the tenant-landlord laws, how to keep each property separate, or staying hands-on can be a handful, let our Long-Term rental team take over. A few things to consider when it’s time to hire a property management team are:

  • You have more than one property – we have noticed that the more properties you own, the harder it can be to manage it yourself.
  • Not living near your long-term rental property – depending on where you may be living in the country; you may not be close to a quick drive to your property. This, in turn, can lead to costly trips to see if something needs to be fixed or checked on more than once a year.
  • Your time is limited – this can go hand in hand with not living near your rental property and can take more time out of your day to handle anything that needs to be done with the property.

We at Village Properties are here to help you make that hard decision by allowing us to take over your rental property and manage it for you. Taking time off work to go to manage your property on your own can be not only time-consuming but also costly. Rather than worrying about your property, allow us to do that for you. If you’re ready to start with our long-term rental team today to manage your property, give us a call today!
