			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most irritating factor of being a landlord is dealing with tenants who misuse your property and cause damage. Such tenants often cause complete destruction and totally trash your property inside and out. There are a lot of real life experiences regarding damage causing tenants making rounds in the market.</p>
<p>If you are one of those people who believe that getting a decent tenant is a function of good luck, you are absolutely incorrect in your assessment. You should rather work towards making your luck favor you in tenant-related matters. This actually means that by following some measures provided below, you could reduce your concerns related to finding a good tenant considerably.</p>
<p>As a first step, follow the process of Tenant Screening. This is a thumb rule persisted with by all smart land lords. Going by the number of horror stories out there regarding damages caused by tenants, we can safely conclude that not many land lords carry out a thorough process of tenant screening before deciding upon a prospective tenant. If one wishes to get a good tenant, it will not happen by chance. One has to be completely professional in the approach towards finding a good tenant and thoroughly go through the tenant screening process. Finding out about past experiences of some of the previous landlords, of the tenant in question, is an important aspect of the screening process. This task ought to be done meticulously.</p>
<p>As a second step, you ought to visit the property being vacated by the prospective tenant; or at the very least, at least drive along the property being vacated to ascertain the condition of the property. It is highly probable that your property will be treated in the same way as the one being vacated.</p>
<p>Thirdly, take photographs to keep a record of the condition of your property before and after the advertisement, in the presence of the tenant after the lease has been signed. Such pictorial evidences can go a long way in ensuring that the tenant uses the property as they would use their own house because in case of a law suit, the evidence presented will hold true in court and swing the decision in your favor.</p>
<p>As a fourth step, get a Property Condition Report made which documents the condition of your property before handing over the property to the tenant. Go through the report with the tenant and have him sign the inventory list and the conditions set forth. This will ensure that you have another legally binding document in hand apart from the lease agreement.</p>
<p>Fifthly, before handing over possession, take a substantial sum as a security deposit, including the first month’s rent. With so much at stake, the tenant will ensure he / she looks after your property well.</p>
<p>If you follow all the steps described above, there is no reason why you will not get a decent tenant who takes proper care of the property.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first impression factor in real estate is a big deal maker. Many times the first impression is more influential than a detailed analysis of the home. We&#8217;ve all heard of &#8216;love at first site&#8217;. We know it&#8217;s just a saying, but beneath a lot of so-called &#8216;sayings&#8217; is a morsel of truth. People work from emotions a lot of the time. Either consciously or sub-consciously, we get an impression about things that trigger either positive or negative feelings inside us.</p>
<p>When you take on the role of seller, you have to understand the importance of first impressions. If the buyer gets a bad first impression, your chances of selling are diminished by a big margin. There are a few places where you can improve the first impressions of your home, and it&#8217;s a profitable exercise for you:</p>
<p>The first and most obvious area is the day that the potential buyer actually visits the home to see it firsthand. As soon as they drive up your street they begin to form their first impression. Because if they buy, they&#8217;ll be driving up this same street. They not only look at the home you&#8217;re selling, but at the homes around it. That&#8217;s why neighbors are so important to home value. Your home should rate among the top ones that exist in that neighborhood, unless your settling for a low purchase price.</p>
<p>Some things you should do before the home visit is remove dead plants, rake leaves, cut grass, and generally clean up the home area. The driveway is one of the biggest points of first impression. If they feel good about pulling into your driveway, it will set a great tone for the rest of the home. Just put yourself in the buyer&#8217;s shoes, and think about what you&#8217;d like to encounter if it was you.</p>
<p>One area that some don&#8217;t think about right off lies with the pictures you take for advertising your home. These pictures need to be top quality and professional. In today&#8217;s internet world, so much of the home shopping gets done on the web. If your home is listed there, it needs to be presented as good as it can be. And you should be able to give the searcher as many different looks as they can get, so they feel from their search that they truly know what the home looks like.</p>
<p>When you try to figure out the asking price for your home, don&#8217;t be backward about asking friends. And don&#8217;t be quickly offended by friendly criticism. Just take it as it is and know that different people react differently to certain situations. And this is how it will go with prospective buyers. So listen with an open mind, and see if you can improve anything to change any negative feedback.</p>
