This site was really built with you in mind and we hope you will find it useful. Beware of those who downgrade the value of investing in property. The importance of being pro-active when maintaining your home. Recently, a long-term client of the Terblanche Thomas Group with a large portfolio of rented properties reported that a financial adviser had assured him that if he sold his property portfolio, the adviser could guarantee a better return from the money invested in the traditional low-risk property market. But this sort of comment is often made without taking into account several factors, all of which actually radically alter the calculations. The first is that the return usually estimated by the adviser is based on the current value of the property, not on what the investor actually paid for it two, three, four or five years ago. The second factor often overlooked is that in most cases the investor is making his money on the bank loan (his actual initial investment is often no more than 10 or 20% of the total cost of the property including maintenance ). The third factor that is often not taken into account is that if the investor were to sell his property portfolio, he would often be liable for a substantial Capital Gains Tax on the profit of any secondary (investment) property. It has to be admitted that these have become a type of wealth tax. They continue to rise because living conditions in many of the poorer and disadvantaged areas really do need improvement and upgrading. However, these rises are often more than compensated for by rising rents today. Understanding the reasons for your move will serve as a guide for finding your new space. This will also help your team and your customers through your move. This can help you organize your move without disturbing your business operations. Note everything you need to spend on, like property and moving costs. A real estate agent can help find the perfect place for your business. A properly designed space leads to a hassle-free transition. Plan this efficiently so there are minimal disruptions to operations. Finalize your contract with your real estate agent. You can avoid potential disputes in rental deposits if you hand it over in good condition. Leaky faucets and toilets aren’t really a priority for most of us. It’s easy to dismiss a minor plumbing problem or two when you have other things on your plate. You could be spending your cash or time on something else. While a few leaks are not so much of an inconvenience, over time, these are going to be a bigger problem. A few drops from a faulty faucet or supply line may not seem much, but delayed maintenance can cost you in the long run. That 10,000 gallons of water is going to your water bill. Mold and mildew can damage any woodwork, causing them to rot. So in addition to your plumbing costs, you’ll also be shouldering the expense of replacing your walls, floors, and ceilings. And don’t ignore the plumbing problems in your toilet such as backed up sewer lines or leaky toilet seals. With all these problems lurking behind a simple leak, you should know what your next steps should be. Repairing these minor problems will cost you time and money as well, but getting them fixed now saves you from the higher costs of their complications.
