You should consider the following points before you commit to being a landlord; don’t make a mistake that will do nothing but cost you money.
If you’ve got a space in your home or on your property that isn’t being used, you probably think the best way to make money off it is to rent it out during the year. After all, a basement or in-law suite can seem like the perfect place for another person to reside. However, renting this space out isn’t the best plan for many, many people. You should consider the following points before you commit to being a landlord; don’t make a mistake that will do nothing but cost you money.
1. Landlords are often overworked and stressed.
Being strapped for money is already hard enough. Making your life significantly more difficult is the worst thing you could do for your mental health and your stress level. For instance, landlords must be available at all times of the day. A tenant’s problems won’t always happen during the work day. You also need to constantly be ready for the price of emergency maintenance.
2. You might not always get paid.
Whenever you rent out, you run the serious risk of not being paid on time. There are, of course, legal consequences for this; but if you’re on a tight budget, a missing rent payment may mean the difference between keeping your property and losing it. Chances are, if you’re renting out property, you’re probably already short on cash. Do you really want to take chances?
3. It might not be big enough.
Renting out property for someone to actually live in is more complicated than it sounds. There are many codes you need to follow before you can actually become a landlord, which is stressful and costs you precious time. And, even if you follow all of those codes, the space might not be ready for someone to live there. And making it a great space to live could cost you even more time and money.
