- How CrowdProperty can help you build a better future

ALSO .....How to STOP your property sitting empty - Vanessa Afo
nja
Having a rental property lying vacant probably ranks as a landlord’s number one fear. After all, if you don’t have tenants, you’ll have to meet the expenses of that property yourself. Instead of earning additional income from your rental property, you’ll suddenly find yourself being forced to dip into your own savings or worse, take out an additional loan.
However there are a number of key steps every landlord should take to STOP their properties sitting empty which you will learn from Vanessa's presentation, including:
- Why void periods don’t happen by accident – they’re the result of poor planning
- How to price correctly to avoid long void periods
- How to avoid letting before Christmas
- How to present your property to let in 2019!
