Just because you’ve got a rental property, that doesn’t mean you can look after every aspect of it on your own. Everyone has their own strengths and not all landlords are going to be great at DIY. Recognise your strengths, and if home maintenance isn’t one of them, consider working with tradesmen to enhance your property.
It is worth your while seeking out people who are highly skilled and forming ongoing relationships with them. This way, you know your property is in safe hands when it needs any work, and you can rely on the people you select. You may also be able to take out a maintenance contract, so you never have to worry about upkeep, or finding a builder in an emergency. Your trusted tradespeople will be there to help you are a part of your contract. The first time you work with someone, consider obtaining several quotes to gain a better idea of price.
