Selling a Rental Property – Keeping it Tenanted or Vacant?

Selling a Rental Property – Keeping it Tenanted or Vacant? Making right impression is paramount when it comes to selling your home. But what happens when you don’t live in the property you own, and it is tenanted? Do you keep it tenanted or have it vacant prior to selling? Often, home-sellers look at the loss of rental income while the property is on the market as the driver for this decision, but this could be false economy. Owners could very well lose more money than the rental income if the property is put on the market with current tenants who don’t look after the property, or perhaps have ..read more

A traditional Danish concept stemming from the idea that cosiness and happiness leads to contentment and well-being, “Hygge” (pronounced hue-gah) is not an object, nor is it a thing you can buy, but a certain “feeling”. It’s that “feeling” when you’re tucked in a doona on a cold winter’s night with a hot coco, or that “feeling” when you are enjoying life’s simple pleasures by snuggling in on a good book, as it’s pouring rain outside. In a world where our lives seem to only get busier, the Danes adopts the Hygge way of lifestyle to slow down, remain calm and enjoy the finer things. Today, this ..read more
