Managing your own property or approaching a real estate agency is a key decision that any homeowner will have to make. As you can imagine, each choice has its advantages and disadvantages. Let's talk about it in our next lines !

The management of his property by onself

Direct management of rented real estate is the choice most often made by building owners. The main reason for this option is that it exempts them from paying compensation to an agency for rental management. It could also be mentioned that some owners are happy to manage their rental themselves. However, this personal management is accompanied by many essential tasks to assume. Among others, you will have to do the following tasks:

Find a tenant and establish a lease

Well before starting to advertise and arrange visits to the property, prior steps are required for the owner. First, you need to find out about the price of the market to increase your chances of setting competitive and attractive prices. Then, after the goods are put on the market, you will have to look at the profile of the tenants interested. It is up to you to choose who you rent your property, which remains one of the major difficulties. Caution is required because finding the right tenant is not easy. One of the most important criteria to observe is the financial solvency of the candidate to rent.

For the sake of security, you could take out insurance against the risk of unpaid rent or ask an organization or a person to act as surety for the act of renting. But still, the owners ask, generally, the deposit of a guarantee of guarantee of a few months (1 to 3 months approximately). Only after these steps will you be able to establish a lease that remains an important document. It crowns the agreement binding the two (2) parties in this transaction and bears the signatures of the owner and the tenant.
