8) Getting a good tenant

Some people try to find a tenant without using an agent. If you are lucky enough to know of reliable tenants, that's great. If not, finding and managing tenants can be expensive, time consuming and hard work. Be ready to be on call for showings to potential tenants.

An agency will save you time by showing potential tenants around your property, which is great if you haven't got the time to handle calls, stay in for viewings and respond to emails.

To save time for both yourself and your agent, be clear with your agent about the profile of tenant you will be happy with, are non-veg, smokers, bachelors an issue for example?
