Property Caretaker Needed
December 30th 2011 01:46
During the recession many homes go into foreclosure while others are sold for less than the original value in a shortsale.
Vacation homes go unattended while real estate investors continue to rehab homes to flip for profit.
If you have more than one home to maintain the property preservation costs could get really expensive.
The alternative would be to hire a property caretaker to house sit and keep the home in order during the seasonal months.
During the summer months a home that is unattended could get overgrown lawns or experience brown spots and drought due to lack of watering.
During the winter months homes can experience plumbing problems from the pipes freezing up.
Property Caretakers are needed to take care of ranch properties for farmers, business travelers, retired couples and seasonal home dwellers.
Most are a live-in arrangement where you get a monthly allowance to clean, repair, maintain the interior and the exterior of the home and surrounding land.
Yearly salary can be as high as $80, 000 or more depending on experience, location and the size of the property.
Property Caretaker Jobs are easily found on the internet from various parts of the country.
The types of caretaker positions include working for resorts, estates or live-in.
Although these are highly sought after jobs to qualify you will need to have verifiable references.
Plus many of the properties are in high net worth neighborhoods and have valuable commodities that need to be preserved and protected.
Priority will go to retirees and couples for housesitting, animal caretakers, farmland management and housekeeping.
An established newsletter that lists properties who need property caretakers is the Gazette which has been the number one source for jobs since 1983.
These rent-free living opportunities are available in all 50 U.S. States as well as Canada and Mexico.
