Episode 72: Can You Go Away and Leave Your Portfolio?
Property investment is not just about acquiring and renting out properties – it's a business that requires proper management systems in place. Even with good systems, things can slip through the cracks. But don't worry, I've got you covered!
In this episode of A Wealthy Life, I delve into the importance of having good systems in place for property investment. I’ll emphasize that even with good systems, things can still slip through the cracks. I’ll stress that property investors need to do more than just acquire property and put tenants in; they need to receive rent, stay legally compliant, maintain the property, and ensure it remains a profitable investment.
I’ll advocate for having systems that allow investors to take extended holidays or be away for extended periods of time. Then, I’ll reiterate that property investment is a business and needs to generate income, with expenses deducted to determine profit. Finally, I’ll discuss the options for managing rental properties, whether through a letting agent or by taking on all management responsibilities as a landlord.
Join me on this insightful episode of A Wealthy Life as I dive into the intricacies of property investment and provide valuable advice for successfully managing a property portfolio!
