The second is that you may still be feeling the effects of the pandemic…

Emotionally detached house-hunting
adjusting to new time limits on giving the notice to vacate
Having a hard time finding reliable tenants.
that’s why we’ve compiled this list of 7 stress-free property management recommendations to assist you in handling the day-to-day tasks associated with managing your new real estate investments.
Develop a powerful web identity
Having a strong internet presence, complete with high-quality photographs and positive reviews, is essential if you want to attract and keep high-quality tenants. Your ideal tenants would include both younger generations (Millennials) and older (retirees) people because of the property’s elegant, appealing apartments. Since many people now choose to work from home, it’s important for landlords to provide accommodations that cater to a wide range of tenants’ needs.
Invest in a good location
With so many people having to live and work in such close proximity, finding a suitable location has never been more crucial. If you haven’t already done so, be sure that the property you intend to use as an investment is close to amenities such as bars, restaurants, stores, parks, and public transportation. Don’t forget to mention in your ads that the property is close to restaurants, shops, and other amenities.
Prepare your home for rent
Make sure everything in the rental property is in working order before advertising it. To achieve this goal, we must guarantee its cleanliness, safety, and upkeep. It’s time to clean up, clear out the clutter, and repair the janky stuff. It’s important to think about whether you want to rent out your property fully furnished, unfurnished, or with some furniture.
Conducting Online Tours
Many individuals may view the property’s characteristics at once with a virtual walk-through, which is why they are so popular. Specifically, there are two types of virtual reality that can aid in property management:
semi-immersive virtual reality
High-resolution 2D images, 3D photos, and movies create a virtual atmosphere that makes it feel like the prospective renters are partially immersed in it. Tenant applicants can examine the information on their mobile device or computer.
fully immersive virtual reality
This is the most lifelike simulation ever created, in terms of both visuals and audio. High-resolution models, photos, and videos are integrated to form the virtual world. It feels just like being there in person.
Add Extra Rewards
Tenants who are of high quality will appreciate it if the landlord goes the extra mile to make them feel at home.
These optional additions may consist of:
an additional closet
Quick and dependable connectivity to the web
cleaning
gardening
Having a positive attitude toward pets
especially for HMOs, it is beneficial to have tenants pay a single monthly payment that includes rent, utilities, council tax, internet, and any other necessary services.
Take Rentals in Your Area Into Account
Consider Local Housing lettings if you’ve had trouble renting your home. As part of the House Manage service, we find reliable tenants who will take good care of your home.
Find the best real estate agent for your needs
The last piece of advice is to think about whether or not you want to be the landlord of the property and personally attend to its upkeep and maintenance (as well as finding tenants). Or if you will designate a representative to carry out these tasks on your behalf. If you do want to look for an agent, it is imperative that you talk to a person who has a good reputation. You should work on making sure you have a good working relationship with them and that they can help you manage both your investments and your tenants. Find out what aspects of their property management service are included and what aspects are not included so that you can estimate the amount of time that will be required of you.
At House Manage, we help our clients manage their properties and make sure landlords are up to date on COVID health regulations.
