How to Save Money on your Energy Bills

-1 brick of cream cheese.

We all love DIY!.Well, unless you really REALLY know what you’re doing in this situation, you can get yourself into a lot of hot water because you’re dealing with someone else’s living space here.

The best bet for most people who aren’t experts, in the long run, is to stay away from trying to learn plumbing, or electrical, or tile work for the first time on your income property.Go ahead and paint.But leave the big things to an expert..

The last thing Scott wants you to think about for your future income property is space planning.He sometimes sees people eliminate things like a laundry room, or a dishwasher in a space to create more room or to save money on having to invest in those appliances.

Sure, you might not be able to charge a whole lot more for having those things, but it all goes back to what Scott told us last time: Income properties are still homes.

Having these conveniences available for your future tenants will get your place rented a whole lot quicker and it will keep good renters around for the long run.I have to remind myself that we’re not just renovating a house, we’re living an adventure and it’s the kind of thing that builds amazing memories and creates a strong sense of identity for our family too.

I can deal with some ugly walls for a few years for that!.So if leaving your stressful city life and moving to the country is something you’ve always wanted to do, after having lived it for the last three years, I say go for it!

Just be smart about your money and try not to stress out about all the little things as much as I do.🙂 These first few years here for us while we’re still really getting settled and getting set up are definitely the hard years.
