A Healthy Market In South Lake Tahoe
The median price of homes in South Lake Tahoe fell over 2011, the culprit being that most of the homes sold were at the lower end of the market. Many might ask “are we in a declining market?” and we say no probably not. If you compare today’s inventory to recent years you will find that there aren’t nearly as many homes on the market as there were in 2009. Short sales are more prevalant than foreclosures at this time so there is still a distressed inventory or properties available as well. With rates at again record lows we don’t foresee this low inventory/low pricing lasting too … Read More »

Should You Allow Pets in Your South Lake Tahoe Rental Property?
This has been a subject of great debate for some time now, whether or not to allow tenants to have pets in your rental. What Tim and I have found is you can have any pet policy you want but if a tenant wants a pet they will go right ahead and do so. When we bought our first rental we were very firm on “no pets”. We didn’t want to replace flooring after each tenant because their animal used It instead of the outdoors. We would make it part of the lease and discuss our terms with the tenant. We leaned fairly … Read More »
