Picture this: your tenant does something HUGELY disastrous, and pandemonium ensues. What do you do? This week in rental property we peer into the looking glass of disaster. Nobody wants to entertain the thought of catastrophe, but it is inevitable. Whether its a fire breaking out or a bomb threat, as in our first two articles below, it is always a good idea to have precautions put in place for situations like these. On a lighter note, dating service is being implemented into rental property! More on this in our third link. Also in this past week, an extremely old South Carolina property deed was found. Property management truly is a part of history! Finally, we wander over to Cuba to discover who claims what in the property scramble.
