I am about to sign contracts on a property that currently has a tenant until April 2015 on a self managed lease. Can you please give me tips to make this go smoothly?
So far I need to consider:
- currently renting for 360/week but should be about 380 with agent fees
- making sure bond gets transferred to me
- introducing myself to the tenant. I believe people treat your place better if they know you and you can build a good rapport.
- perhaps getting a rental agent involved although paying agent fees on the already lowered rent might suck
Other stuff?
