tax returns at the end of each financial year. It is important that precise bookkeeping is

Letting Rentals Agents - Conducting credit checks, drawing up leases, inspections each time a new tenant
vacates, rent collection etc... The admin involved in rental management does not suit all investors, although some
might consider that it would be a good experience to let their properties themselves. oGatsheni cautions investors to
follow this strategy only after due consideration and having conducted extensive research beforehand to gain a full
understanding of the entire process.
oGatsheni believes that members' time is more valuable, and so advises them to leave these very important
functions in the administration of a property portfolio to a capable letting agent who has the necessary resources,
manpower and expertise at hand.
