How To Get A New Home Rent Ready?

Hi,

I'm a n00b here. Let's say I was able to buy a brand new home and still make a positive cashflow. How would I go about making the home rent-read? Find a property manager that would do it for me? Or do it myself? Would I have to have window dressings (blinds, curtains, whatever...) installed? Have a washer/dryer put in?

Any information helps.

Thanks,
capnhans the n00b

    Most tenants will expect you to provide blinds - but they are cheap if you just use basic plastic mini-linds. Probably less then $25 a window. You don't need to provide curtains.

    The w/d varies by region. Around here it would be provided by the tenant in most rentals.

    You can manage it yourself with a little effort and know-how. Hiring a property manager will cost around %10 of the rent a month and probably stop any cashflow. It may even make it a losing propisition.

    Good Luck!

    Dumdido's right:

    Rentals differ from region to region.

    The best way to find out the standard in your area is by calling a couple of rental ads in the loacl newspaper and asking the landlords what amenities they provide with their rentals.

    Good luck.
