If you have a vacant apartment or house, this property can become a source of income from a generator of costs for its maintenance. The most common way to make money on such real estate is to rent it out. In this case, utility bills are passed on to the tenant, and the landlord receives a monthly rent.
It is necessary
- - property owned;
- - documents for it for demonstration to potential tenants;
- - computer with Internet access;
- - coupons for free newspaper ads;
- - communication skills.

Step 1
The location of the property is of great importance. It is clear that income from renting out housing in Moscow or St. Petersburg can also claim to be the main one. And in a run-down regional center somewhere "on the edge of geography" it can be a great success if there is a tenant willing to pay utility bills.
Many other factors also affect the rent. For example, the convenience of transport links (in metropolitan areas - proximity to the metro), the location of the area, the presence of an elevator at the entrance, an intercom, an iron door, household appliances and much more.
You need to know how much an apartment can actually be rented out for before you start looking for tenants.
Step 2
An independent study of the real estate market will help in this matter. Look at the ads: how much they ask for apartments, the parameters of which are comparable to yours. If you have the time and desire, call the owners of such housing (however, there are more chances that the employee of the real estate agency will answer), you can even look at several options.
The agencies will be happy to advise you on how much you can get from renting your home. Contact several real estate companies for advice. At the same time, no one obliges you to use their services when looking for a tenant.
Step 3
Many people believe that it is safer to rent out housing to friends or relatives, or look for tenants with their help. In fact, this still does not guarantee anything, but the risk of ruining relations with such tenants is present.
The guest may well expect a discount on the basis of family or friendships, or justify their inaccurate payment. Do you need it? However, everything always depends on the specific person.
Step 4
If you start advertising your home (in the media, on message boards on the Internet, forums, etc.) on your own, you will not escape the attention of realtors anyway. All these apartments with your coordinates will still fall into their databases: you can't forbid it.
In any case, you always have the right to refuse a tenant who does not suit you with something. And who knows whether there will be the most suitable one for you or if another realtor will bring him.
