Buying an investment property requires risk, courage and parting with your hard-earned money. The main objective of purchasing an investment property is to make money, either from the capital growth or from the regular rental income.

Tenants, on the other hand, may not see your property in the same light as you do. Some tenants do not treat your property they way you would necessarily like them to.

We hear many horror stories about tenants damaging investment properties. It is not uncommon that tenants will either leave behind rubbish or leave the property in an unpleasant state. The most common issues are usually damage to the walls, appliances left in non-working order and loads of rubbish left behind.

How do you avoid this happening to your investment property?
