Decide what to do with property you own: rent or sell?
-
If selling, interview at least three real estate agents.
-
If renting, get detailed recommendations for property managers and select a company.
These steps should take place at least three or four months before your departure date.
If possible, view the Transition Center??s DVD, Managing Your Rental Property from Overseas--or attend the workshop. This annually updated presentation features experts describing all aspects of rentals, including tax implications.
Prepare your property for sale or rental. Based on recommendations from your real estate agent or property manager, clean, paint, and make repairs.
