Basics of Property Management: Screening Potential Tenants
3 Tips To Get A Luxurious Master Bedroom When Buying A Typical Home
Jesse Obrien
On your journey to become a homeowner, you may plan to buy a typical home that you see often and in many neighborhoods. While you may be more than happy to get all the features that you find in most homes, you should not hesitate to demand an extra feature or two.
If you love the idea of a luxurious master bedroom that you love waking up in and cannot wait to get back to in the evening, you should make this a priority while you are house shopping.
Master Bathroom
An excellent feature that will help to accomplish this goal is a master bathroom. Instead of having the leave the bedroom to use the family bathroom in the hallway, you can extend your personal paradise to the bathroom. You can set up all the right lights, candles, and decorations to make sure the space feels just as relaxing and enjoyable to spend time in as the master bedroom.
Balcony
When you get the opportunity to buy a multi-story home, you cannot go wrong with a master bedroom on the second floor as this means a balcony will become a possible feature. This will give you an opportunity to open the doors and bring in lots of fresh air in the morning or evening.
If you like to get fresh air as soon as you wake up, you can open the door and head outside to sit down and relax. You can even bring a cup of coffee upstairs with you to enjoy on the balcony.
Size
While you may not feel like you need much space inside the house, especially with the master bedroom, you should not pass up the opportunity to get a large master bedroom. This will give you the flexibility to invest in oversized furniture such as a huge dresser and a king-sized bed.
A large bed will help to make your bedroom feel luxurious, especially if you have any pets that like to jump on the bed at night and take up space. The sheer size of a king mattress will keep you from feeling overcrowded when you are trying to get relaxed before going to sleep.
Finding an incredible master bedroom in a typical home may be that easy to accomplish. But, when you are open to living in multiple neighborhoods and you take your time with looking around, you will eventually find a house with the bedroom qualities that you are interested in.

For the last several years, I've used a property management firm to help with my rental properties. One of the tasks that they handle for me is screening applicants who would like to move into one of my vacant units. Their expertise has helped me lower my tenant turnover and find people who want to stay with me for years. Part of the process is a tenant screening credit check. Before any further contact takes place, my manager orders credit reports from at least two agencies. That is enough to tell us if an applicant is a good financial risk. Assuming the references work out, I meet the candidate and make the final decision. If you own rental properties, let me tell you more about the benefits of having a property manager. I'm betting you'll find this type of arrangement will work for you too.
