    On the day of the move bring irreplaceable or expensive items in your car. This will include fragile items, personal records, television, computer, jewellery, etc. Make sure that they are secured and will not block your field of vision when driving. Try to make your move on a weekday because services such as utility companies and banks are open, in case you need them. Prepare a separate box to hold items that might be needed before you have unpacked your belongings. Keep a change of clothes and some clean sheets in your car so it would be easier to get them after the day is over.

    Do you have a tenant who looks after the house everytime you’re out of town? They can be awarded as Good Tenants. Having them makes your rental business a pleasure. If you have good tenants, give them some rewards by not raising the rental fee. When you keep this philosophy, you’d be able to keep them for the longest time. If the tenant puts in a garden and trees and other landscaping, the capital value they are adding to your property may mean you should not hit them with the highest possible rent. I’m sure that you would rather have the quiet yet carefree tenant than the domineering and loud one.

    When it’s definite that you’re moving, start collecting the package boxes in advance. It would be better to have as many as you can get and the best kind would be those that have been used to carry fragile items. See to it that they’re clean and secure. The packed box should be numbered with a note on what area will it be placed. Have a checklist of the boxes and mark it as the boxes have been delivered to their destination. Clothing can be carried in trash bags, with clear labels, or you can use your suitcases to carry them. If possible, make printed labels with the address of your new house.

Foreclosures are at an all time high of 1.5 million and mortgage defaults are running at a high 65%. Malls close and vacancies in rental properties continue to grow as commercial property owners try to keep existing tenants to stave off bankruptcy themselves. Commercial property buyers on the other hand, the ones who managed to stave off exposure to the housing crisis, are going on buying sprees, but these are mainly strategic purchases without much lavish investments of previous years. Even the biggest property investors are jumping on chances to acquire properties that have not depreciated so much in terms of price, yet with prices still expected to drop, more bargains may be in sight.
