Investing in real estate has always been fruitful. The returns in investing in land are time tested. Owning a property is great. But, how safe is your property? You might have heard or read in newspapers regarding misusing of empty properties. Miscreants and people who have intention to encroach usually have an eye on property that is obviously not watched. You or someone whom you trust should be visiting the property regularly. It has to be monitored and protected.
You have purchased your dream apartment or house. It may or may not be brand new. It could be an investment property or your future home. You have just kept it vacant. You are undecided if you want to rent it out or use it when you visit the city. Just because it is vacant does not mean that you can remain idle. You still need to keep an eye on it. Is the property in good shape? Is it being vandalized or misused? Is there damage due to water? Are the windows intact? Are there any birds nesting in your windows or sun shades? As a property owner you should be doing this.
