How to rent out your home in Colorado Springs

So you live in Colorado Springs, and you are thinking about renting out your house. When you think about everything involved in renting, you might decide to not rent at all. You’ve probably heard horror stories from other people who have tried to rent their house and have either made no money from it or have had to spend so much time making repairs on the property that they miss work.

Thankfully, we have some answers, but first, let’s look at what is involved in renting your home in Colorado Springs.

How will you market your rental so that you get it rented quickly, and attract the kind of people you want to live in your house?
What will you charge? Do you know how to get the best price you can without charging too much?
How will you maintain your property so the yard doesn’t die and that beautiful painting you did in the living room isn’t destroyed? How will you even know if damage is being done inside your rental?
How will you collect prompt payments? What if the renters get behind--what do you do?
What will you do if things break in the house--if your tenants call and need immediate help to fix the plumbing under the sink, can you leave your job to go do the repairs?
Are you good with accounting? You’re going to have to keep track of the finances accurately to not lose money, and to please Uncle Sam.
Do you have a good, affordable lawyer? You might need to sue for damages, or to evict someone.
Do you know all the laws and rules about renting, including tenant rights? How can you figure this out?
How’s your muscle tone? Will you be able to evict a bad tenant if you need to?

This is a lot to think about. So what is the answer? How can you rent your house, make a profit, and be able to have all of the time you have now to enjoy your life?
