Common Mistakes to Avoid When Renting Out Your Property

Avoiding Landlord MistakesCobalt Creek Property Management helps landlords in Denver, Colorado, avoid common mistakes when renting out single homes and multifamily properties.

Successfully managing your investment properties requires a business mindset, and without experience, you can quickly lose money, time, and sleep by making understandable mistakes. The best way to prevent these costly errors is to hire an experienced Denver area property manager.

It’s Easy To Mess Up When Going It Alone

Most house rental management mistakes stem from a lack of knowledge, planning, and investment in your rental business. In worst-case scenarios, this can even lead to foreclosed properties and legal troubles.

Common Mistakes New Landlords Make

As you begin your new career as a landlord, don’t let yourself feel rushed or pressured into taking any particular action. It’s equally important to seek help and insight from experts you know and trust, like apartment property managers, realtors, and accountants who specialize in investment properties.

  • Neglecting your tenants.
  • Underestimating the costs of repairs and ongoing maintenance.
  • Relying on handshakes and promises rather than signed documents.
  • Delaying evictions.
  • Failing to enforce lease terms.
  • Asking illegal interview questions.
  • Viewing being a landlord as a hobby, not a business.
  • Not meeting state and local housing codes.
  • Thinking the property will always be rented.
  • Failing to run adequate checks on potential tenants.
  • Failing to keep written records of interactions with your tenants.
