Understand the responsibility involved 

Being a landlord is not everyone’s cup of tea. Yes, there are plenty of benefits of renting your vacant property – you can avail of tax breaks, the house gets used and you can generate an income that could also be very profitable. However, there are responsibilities that you will need to carry out as well. For example, you will need to ensure that your real estate is in top shape with maintenance and repairs up to date.
