  2. Discover yourself an accountant Statement • If you discover yourself with an investment property because of an inheritance, it is important to find yourself an accountant who specializes in real estate. • Handling taxes is not something people want to do after they have lost a loved one.

  3. Communicate a real estate Broker’s or Agent Price Opinion • After you have figured out the taxes, it is time to decide whether or not you want to keep the investment property. • For most people, it comes down to the fair market value, in which case you will need to call in the help of a real estate agent or a Broker’s Price Opinion. • The house over up sitting on the market for over a year until we finally decided we should possibly rent it out. Had we gone with a BPO, they might have told us we were better off renting from the beginning given the economic climate.

  4. Select your own adventure • Whether or not you decide to keep the investment property will depend on what the real estate agent or BPO tell you. • If you decide to sell, then the next obvious choice is to list it. • You can possibly even work with the real estate agent you contacted to help you determine the property’s market value.

  5. Consider placing it under a company name • Placing your investment property under the name of an incorporated company can save your personal finances if a tenant falls and decides to sue you. • It can also give you tax advantages you may not be able to get otherwise. • Granted, there may be downsides to generating an LLC for your property depending on your situation and where you live. • If your name is on the loan and then you decide to put it under an LLC, you may be required to fork over what you be in debt.

  6. Become yourself a property manager • A good property manager can save you headaches. They can find you tenants, collect payments on your behalf, get a lease signed and keep an eye on things so you do not actually have to do it yourself. • It provides a nice barrier between you and your tenant that, while not always necessary, can come in handy if there’s ever an issue. For example, if something breaks the tenants are calling our property manager first. • Moreover, when we recently had to fix up the house before renting it out again, our property manager hooked us up with contractors who could cut us a deal. I am talking everything from a handyman to fix a door, to painters, to people who could improve the finishing on wood floors.
