I think this is an extremely important topic when it comes to investment, cash flow producing real estate.  If you don’t take care of the deferred maintenance up front when you purchase the property, your projections could be way off.  Without taking care of it up front when you fund the deal, you’ll be left trying to cure the deferred maintenance out of the repairs and maintenance budget and cash flow.  That is rarely a good idea and your investment will suffer.  I hope you enjoy the article below by Todd Miller.

Deferred Maintenance in Real Estate

By Todd P. Miller

A lot of people are having problems when it comes to, budgeting the expenses that they have in their property. There are a lot of people who are actually having a hard time to fix the things that should be fixed, since they are not aware of what deferred maintenance is. This article was written to help you understand what deferred maintenance is, and how it can help you save money and reduce costs in maintaining the perfect condition of your house. Read on to find out more about the things that you can do to keep your property in perfect shape.

Deferred maintenance refers to a process of trying to determine the things that should be repaired in order to prevent a bigger problem to happen. This process is applicable in almost anything that can be repaired, but a lot of people think that fixing small problems would cost them more money. In fact, there are even some people who would not even consider having something repaired, and only wait for it to be replaced. This may seem like a good idea for some, but the truth is that it will really cost you more money.

If you want to be able to reduce your costs, the first thing that you need to do is to make sure that you are going to create a list of all the problems that should be fixed. You don’t have to determine all of them at once, and getting professionals who can help you identify potential problems and give you a quote will be very beneficial. This will help you to allocate all your expenses and find time to budget your money for the repairs without even giving you a hard time to budget your money.

The reason why there are people who think that deferred maintenance is unnecessary is because they will be paying for the service fee two times. However, if you are going to think about the fact that you will be able to prevent bigger problems by repairing smaller problems, then we can say that it will really help you save more money in the long run. This is something that not everyone fully understands, and is the main reason why they are actually spending more than what they should. Repairing small problems repeatedly is better than repairing or even replacing something due to amplified problems and combination of small problems in the long run.
