There have been a number of articles in the press recently, reporting that rental income is approaching the level where it peaked in 2008. While renter demand remains strong, this scenario will only improve in the short term. But, with constant uncertainty about the long-term future of the economy, what’s the best way to take advantage of these high rents now?

A fantastic solution is net guaranteed long term rental schemes offered by a selection of elite real estate companies. These schemes involve the company taking full charge of all aspects of renting your property: finding tenants, collecting rent, dealing with maintenance issues and arranging statutory inspections. You, as a landlord, can reap the benefits of owning your property without the hassles associated with it, all the while collecting guaranteed rental income every month.

One of the biggest advantages of using a program like this right now is that even though the gross rents are so high, you will be able to negotiate a great guaranteed net rent figure for your property. This has the added advantage that the scheme covers the periods between leases, so you can enjoy near-record levels of rental returns even when your property is unoccupied.

Guaranteed lease programs also help homeowners experiencing other problems:-

* Dealing with tenants is wasted time, and wasted time is lost revenue. Under a guaranteed net rent scheme, you no longer need to have any contact with your tenants.

* Using the services of inefficient management companies is not only frustrating, it also affects your cash flow. Without control over management fees and maintenance costs, your long-term profitability will be under pressure no matter how much rental rates increase. These programs take care of all that.

* Reluctant and accidental landlords will be pleased to know that Net Guaranteed Long Term Leasing schemes are completely hands off. You have no involvement other than checking your bank statement each month to make sure your funds have been received.

The programs work by guaranteeing the landlord a net figure of between 70% and 80% of the gross market value of the rent. Thereafter, all costs associated with ownership (and the time it takes to organize repairs and inspections) are covered. When you add up every penny and every moment of your time spent caring for your investment, the net income you receive will typically exceed your gross costs minus. Plus, you get instant relief from the stress and headaches of owning.

Securing the high rental yields currently available through a guaranteed net lease rental scheme will ensure that your property remains a positive investment, no matter what happens to the economy in the long run.
