work load of landlords: How Much Work is a Rental Property?
- 06/04/09 06:49 PM
If you're considering investing in a rental property, you may be wondering how much work to expect in your new role as landlord. The amount of work depends largely on the type of building, its condition, and the tenants you acquire. A single-family dwelling as opposed to a four unit building will present different issues and challenges. With more units comes more mechanical items to maintain and repair, such as appliances, heating and cooling systems, etc. In general, the better the condition of your building at the time of purchase the less work you will likely have to attend to.
