First-Time Landlords in Boerne

Renting out a home you moved out of, inherited, or could not sell yet, with a broker walking you through it.

A Boerne Home You Did Not Plan to Rent

A first-time landlord in Boerne is often someone who bought in the Hill Country, then moved for work and decided to keep the house. Others inherited a parent's home in Kendall County, or bought a newer home and held onto the older one. Harvest Real Estate Property Management helps each decide whether renting fits and then sets the rental up correctly.

Historic Homes Need a Look First

Renting out an older home near downtown Boerne takes some preparation. Older plumbing and wiring that worked fine for an owner can become repair calls with a tenant. A Boerne rental analysis lists what to fix first and what is not worth the money for a rental.

Land, Wells and HOAs

Acreage owners have more to hand off: who mows, who fixes fences, how the well and septic system are cared for. Those duties belong in the lease in writing. Owners in newer communities near I-10 should read their HOA's deed restrictions, since many set lease terms or registration requirements and the owner answers for a tenant's violations.

Either way, switch to a landlord insurance policy and tell your CPA about the rental income. For inherited homes, settle probate and title with an attorney first.

Setup, Handled

Every first rental comes on board the same way: priced, prepared, marketed, screened, leased on the Texas REALTORS® form, and photographed at move-in. With full-service management, owner draws arrive by direct deposit, repairs up to $250 are handled without a call, and the home is inspected every six months. Details are on the how it works page.
