The first mistake that can make a future landlord - buying a home "for himself" (I would like to house in the village) or on the occasion (a neighbor offers his house for half the price). If we are to enter into this business - as, indeed, any other - that include prepared. "Obviously, sooner or later the market rent suburban real estate will repeat its urban counterpart. More recently, it was more profitable to buy a very expensive and costly to her apartment to rent, but today we see a trend of saturation of the market of elite apartments, - commented on the situation on the market, head of leasing real estate agency "Babylon" Irina Bobko. - Now offers for the lease of quality suburban housing few.
Of course, much depends on the direction on which the house - a potential source of your income. The same house in different directions may differ in terms of rental rates in times, and forget about it impossible.
Second mistake - the wrong target consumer. The future landlord must be clear to whom (a compatriot or a foreigner, with high or middle income, with or without children ...) and for how long (in the summer or year-round), he will take home.
The third error - incorrectly chosen environment. Most liquid in terms of renting a house in the cottage: tenants pay attention to the safety, availability of infrastructure - all that makes living and vacation comfortable and safe. Naturally, the more developed infrastructure and more reliable protection, the higher the rent. Of course, cheaper to buy land in the village at some grandmothers and build a house. But for the rental business this is not fit perfectly. "I had to watch as absolutely charming owners acquire a very presentable house with large plot, swimming pool, landscape design and other benefits, - says Irina Bobko. - But they could not pass his house, even at relatively low costs only because they surrounded the village with its dilapidated houses and half-drunk people. " Not very suitable for rental business and starodachnye place. Yes, they have a romance, yes, they are located in a beautiful place, but they can not provide the tenants nor comfort, nor safety.
The fourth mistake - the wrong choice at home. Often, we are witnessing now, when the house was designed by an architect in the mountain-face master or mistress, the only bathroom in the house is on the first floor and bedrooms on the third level, there can only walk through the house. In addition, the cottage could individually designed for a particular family. So how should a house fit for lease? Two, maximum three levels, a small number of spacious rooms. Bedrooms in the house should be no less than three, especially if the house is expected to pass a family with children. "Particular attention should be paid to the stairs, their comfort and security - adds Bobko. - There are two possible extremes: excess savings, which leads to very awkward to lift construction, or, conversely, generosity of soul in the form of a metal forging, stained glass, etc., which can be very dangerous for children. "
It is essential to raise the rent can the existence of baths, saunas, or, better yet, the swimming pool. Increases liquidity of the house and the presence of purified plot area of not less than 10 hectare. And fruit and berry bushes, and especially gardening industry out of favor - the tenants did not appreciate it. As a final touch - the presence of 1.2 cars. By the way, no less important and are 100-500 m, which must be overcome the next occupant of the road to the house. "Recently, our practice was such a case. Potential tenant did not even bother to approach the house as soon as I saw that from the road to the future place of residence in his beloved car will regularly pass through 100 meters on the clay soil ", - says Irina Bobko.
The fifth error - improperly executed documents on the house and land. This is one of the biggest problems in the delivery of a country house for rent. When you buy should carefully check the documents as the house itself, and on the ground. Ideal - and then, and more correctly documented and is owned by one person. But quite often the house is decorated as Kharkov, which leads to problems, for example, with the insurance or contract execution. There are also frequent situation where the selling of land owned, and some - in the long-term lease, which again increases the risks. "The details may differ, I have seen cases where tried in private to rent a house, which in principle have no right to sit, - said Bobko, - because he legally obtained a lease in the departmental settlement.
The sixth mistake - do not include the cost of maintaining the building. It is important to understand that the house is not enough to buy, it'll have to contain, and the monthly costs can reach up to $ 500-1000. When choosing a house, carefully check for all the services, their condition, the technical performance of the building - the existence and maintenance of septic tanks, energy dependence, so as not turned out that the lion's share of the rent will go only to the contents of the house.
