Should I furnish my rental property?

How do I prepare my property for tenants?
How to get a house ready to rent isn’t always as easy as it sounds. There is a lot that needs to be taken care of before a home or investment property is ready for tenants.
Should I have a pet friendly rental home?
Deciding whether or not to allow pets in your property can be a tough decision. There are pros and cons to having a pet-friendly rental home, which can cause the profit to increase or decrease.
What should I know about living in a historic home?
Owners are expected to maintain the historical significance of the property and must receive approval through special permits before making any improvements. We’ve found in many cases there are strict rehabilitation guidelines, which may allow the homeowner to repair, but not rebuild or replace existing or previously-existing parts of the property.
Will a historic home cost less than a newer home?
There are often tax credits and low-interest loans offered for preserving and restoring historic buildings, properties, and homes. It can help to work with a real estate company that has experience with historic properties—that way, you can rest assured you’re getting the best results possible.
