When you decide to rent your home or investment property, you want to make the most amount of money without having lengthy vacancy periods. But there are a lot of factors that go into determining how much you can charge for rent.
One of the decisions you have to make when deciding to rent your home or investment property is whether or not to have it furnished. There are a number of factors that go into whether or not a furnished rental home can be considered an option.
When managing property, you have to decide whether to offer a lease or a rental agreement, in addition to deciding what terms to include in your lease or rental agreement.
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.
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.
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.

Coakley Realty helped me get a tenant for my commercial space during the very challenging Covid market. They were communicative, easy to work with, and made the process low maintenance for me. On top of that, they also manage a residential property for me. In that role, they have been equally reliable, flexible, and helpful.
