Deployed? Renting Out Your Home? Let Flagship Realty Group Lighten Your Load!


Are you facing deployment and pondering the potential of renting out your unoccupied home? Rest assured, you're not alone in this consideration. Many homeowners in Havelock, North Carolina, Goldsboro, North Carolina, and Eastern North Carolina find themselves in similar situations. The good news? Renting out your property during deployment is a viable option – and Flagship Realty Group is here to guide you through the process seamlessly.


Crunching the Numbers: Setting the Right Rent


Determining the appropriate rent for your property might seem daunting, but with careful calculation, it becomes more manageable. As you embark on this journey, consider these strategies:


  1. Assess Costs: Calculate your monthly expenses, encompassing utilities, taxes, and insurance. Factor in a cushion to cover these expenses, plus potential taxes on rental income.

  2. Rental Analysis Tool: Don't rely solely on guesswork. Leverage tools like our Rental Analysis tool, which factors in often-overlooked variables, ensuring an accurate rent estimate.

  3. Utilities Consideration: Decide whether to bundle utilities or have tenants cover them separately. Some landlords offer partial utility coverage, requiring tenants to manage their electricity, heating, and cooling expenses.

  4. Pet Policies: If you're open to tenants with pets, account for potential damage by requesting an additional pet deposit.


Navigating Tenant Selection During Deployment


Finding suitable tenants while deployed requires strategic planning. Implement these tips to secure quality occupants:


  1. Leverage Your Network: Reach out to trusted friends and family who might know potential tenants. By tapping into your personal network, you reduce the risk of property damage.

  2. Professional Assistance: If connections are limited, consider enlisting a property management group like Flagship Realty Group. We specialize in tenant selection, ensuring your property is in reliable hands.

  3. Thorough Tenant Screening: Prioritize tenant screening. Run credit checks after obtaining permission, providing insights into their financial reliability.

  4. Emergency Contact: Ensure tenants have access to an emergency contact. Share essential numbers and reliable contact details, preferably email addresses, to address unforeseen situations.
