Get Fast Cash for Rental Repairs with an Oregon Private Money Loan
A good paint job and nicely kept landscaping are among the obvious signs of a well-maintained rental property.
But responsible landlords invest in more than just cosmetic upkeep. They provide their tenants a livable home environment that complies with state laws and meets health and safety standards.
Following a regular rental safety maintenance checklist is a smart move. You not only reduce the risk of accidents and protect your liability as owner. You also lessen the potential for property damage and big ticket repairs.
