🏝 🔑 So you’re thinking about renting out your property on a site like Airbnb or VRBO, and you’d like an insider’s perspective on the pros and cons? I got you!⁣
⁣
PROS:⁣
✨Flexibility. Rent it out when you want to. Enjoy it yourself when you don’t.⁣
✨High rental income; often even more than if you were to rent it monthly. Consider: One week vacation = $2000. One month rent? Also $2000. (See what I mean?)⁣
✨Numerous tax breaks and deductions⁣
⁣
CONS:⁣
📌Inconsistent income, especially in the offseason⁣
📌You’re responsible for all utility bills, housekeeping, and general maintenance⁣
📌More people passing through your doors = Greater risk of damage to your property⁣
⁣

According to the NAR, 37% of contracts fall through because of repair issues sellers could have addressed before listing their property. ⁣
⁣
PSA everyone! If you’re thinking of selling this spring, don’t let that happen to you! Here's how:⁣
⁣
Meet with an agent who knows your neighborhood and zip code. Allowing them to do a quick walkthrough could save you piles of cash.⁣

If recommended, schedule a pre-sale inspection. Then you'll know precisely what needs to be addressed from a functional standpoint.⁣

Invest in repairing major systems first. Think HVAC, plumbing, roofing, foundation, or electrical issues.⁣

Once your home’s major systems check out, move to aesthetics. Here’s where your agent’s advice is literally gold! When in doubt, always remember, if there’s one room that needs to impress buyers, it’s (still!) the kitchen.⁣
If there’s time, money, and a little elbow grease left, paint what you can and zero in on curb appeal.⁣
⁣
The good news is getting your home ready to list doesn’t have to be costly or overwhelming. It just takes knowing who to ask for help! DM me, and let’s set a time to chat. I look forward to hearing from you.⁣
