Whenever you purchase an investment property, if you haven’t done so before, it can seem like a lot got dropped on your plate to take care of all at once. Some of the most important things to consider involve making sure your property is legally compliant before you have renters move in. Understanding the different laws surrounding livability and required home assets can be difficult to understand quite quickly. Don’t stress! Work with the best property management group in the Cabot and Little Rock areas to make sure that you don’t break any laws when you’re renting out your property.
Consider these additional pitfalls for investment property owners that can easily be avoided with a little help!
Clean Water
Water heaters and pipes can break down in a house over time. This can lead to gunk and other nasty stuff coming out of the spout when a tenant goes to take a shower or wash the dishes. All renters have the right to have clean drinking water from their property. Normally, this isn’t a problem, but it’s something to be aware of and you don’t want the condition of your investment property to be the reason that they cannot get the water they need.
Smoke Alarms
Across the board, working and maintained smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are a must. There are very specific regulations about where and how many of each need to be in a home.
