When you have an investment property, you typically aren’t keeping regular tabs on it. Since you aren’t constantly checking up on your property, keeping it properly maintained and knowing what is going on there can be a little difficult. An HOA can be very beneficial for mitigating the complications of owning an investment property.

Why an HOA Can Be a Great Choice for an Investment Property: Community Amenities

When you have an investment property, it is wise to find good tenants who consistently pay on-time and want to live there for a long time. This is the best way to rent out your property because you don’t have to worry about the tenants causing problems or not paying. Tenants are more likely to stay in a property if it is welcoming and aesthetically attractive. An HOA makes your property more welcoming and attractive by including community amenities such as a clubhouse or a pool. These amenities make your property much more appealing and will help you keep good tenants in for longer.

Landscaping Maintenance

Regular care is critical for a healthy lawn and for your curb appeal. One of the best benefits of an HOA is that landscaping and lawncare are taken care of. Landscaping and lawn care can be a hassle to take care of, especially in fluctuating climates, so having that taken care of by professionals is a great relief. Maintaining your landscape and lawn will not only keep the property looking great, but it will also help prevent problems with pests, sprinkler damage, or structural damage of driveways or buildings that often result from overgrown plants.

Why an HOA Can Be a Great Choice for an Investment Property: Maintaining Good Relations with Neighbors

Because an HOA ensures proper upkeep of certain areas of your property, you can rest assured that your property will always be maintained. Good maintenance is not only beneficial for the property but also for maintaining good relations with neighbors. Neighbors are more likely to harbor ill feelings towards you and your tenants if the property is not properly maintained and infringes on their community values.

When you buy an investment property, one of the best things you can do is to have eyes and ears on the property through an HOA. An HOA will help you not to worry about the property since things like landscaping and maintenance will be taken care of. Investing in an HOA helps to ensure that you will get the most out of your investment property.
