Hello,
Renting your home can be done in more than one way. You could handle it yourself and learn about contracts and other paperwork that may need to be done. You can hire a management company to handle it and alleviate most of the hassle of collecting the rent and maintenance.
See you next time.
Hello,
As you may know, if the community you live in allows you to rent your home when you are not living in it as your primary residence you are free to do so. Just know that the city where you community is located could have a "Housing Department" that imposes regulations that a landlord must follow.
If you choose this endeavor make sure you check with you city. There is more than your traditional renting that you can do. More on being a landlord next time.
See you then.
Hi there,
As we are now into September, it's time to think about winterizing our homes. What can this entail? Well, checking to see if the utility that keeps you warm during the cold months, be it a furnace or boiler is functioning properly. Check the exterior areas around your home where little critters can squeeze in and make a winter home, and can cause several problems, like infestation and damage to the foundation.
See you later.
Hello,
Before I took my birthday vacation, I promised to tell you about the ground pipes, water, sewer and gas, that are on your property. They are your responsibility. If something happens with these lines you will have to pay for the repairs. It's best to buy a warranty to cover these items. They are reasonably priced and well worth it.
See you soon
Hello again,
Besides the usual vacuuming, mopping and sweeping of floors and carpets, there are other items that need your love and care as well. What might this/these be???? The drains and pipes. Not only the drains and the pipes inside your home, like the face bowl, the bath tub, the kitchen sink and any other basins you may use to wash, rinse or soak things in - as long as some type of liquid goes down that drain, it too needs to be cleaned. There are drain cleaners that are recommended for type of drain your home may have. Always check and make sure you are purchasing the correct type of cleaner for that type of drain and pipe.
As for the pipes that leave your home and may go to a public sewer line or septic tank??? We'll talk about those tomorrow.
See you then
