Moved Up, Kept the First Home

Some first-time landlords in New Braunfels got there through growth. They bought a first home in one of the newer subdivisions, then moved up to a bigger home nearby and decided to keep the first one as a rental. Others moved for work, or inherited a home near downtown. Harvest Real Estate Property Management helps each one decide whether renting makes sense and then sets it up properly.

The HOA Comes First

Newer New Braunfels subdivisions often have HOAs, and their deed restrictions may set minimum lease terms, require tenant registration or limit parking and trash cans. The owner is answerable for a tenant's violations. We read your HOA's rules before the home is listed and write them into the lease.

The Rest of the Checklist

Your homeowner's policy likely needs to become a landlord policy. Rental income and any later sale are questions for your CPA. If you are renting a home you just moved out of, a New Braunfels rental analysis will show what it should rent for and what to fix before listing. For an inherited home, settle probate and title with an attorney first.

We Set It Up

Your first rental comes on board like every home we manage: 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. See the how it works page.
