10 property management best practices from my European vacation

10 property management best practices from my European vacation

I made 10 profound observations that are important property management best practices for landlords during my summer 2018 European vacation. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing these best practices.

Let me start off by telling you a little about the trip.

About the trip

My wife, Salima Hirani, is a travel agent with Expedia CruiseShipCenters Terwillegar. Being in the industry, Salima needs to travel to learn about the various products, services and destinations. Of course, I hop along for the ride – lucky me!

This trip was a 19-day European vacation that started with 2 nights in Barcelona, followed by a 10 day cruise on the Azamara Pursuit through the Mediterranean that ended in Athens. From Athens we flew to Santorini for 2 nights and then off to Paris for 3 nights. And a couple of days allowance for travel to and from Europe.

What a trip this was!

In the 19-days, Salima and I travelled through 5 European countries (Spain, France, Monaco, Italy and Greece) and visited 13 cities, towns and villages through Europe:

• Barcelona, Spain
• Saint-Tropez, France
• Monte Carlo, Monaco
• Livorno, Italy
• Pisa, Italy
• Civitavecchia (Rome Port), Italy
• Amalfi, Italy
• Giardini (Siciliy), Italy
• Nafplio, Greece
• Athens, Greece
• Kamari Beach (Santorini), Greece
• Oia (Santorini), Greece
• Paris, France

If I had to pick my 5 favourite places that we visited, it would be Barcelona, Saint-Tropez, Monte Carlo, Amalfi and Santorini.

Property Management Best Practices

I’m an observer. I’ve always been that way. I analyze what I see. I incorporate the good and learn from the bad. And on this trip there were a lot of observations. These observations were confirmations of property management best practices for landlords that I’d like to share with you over the next few weeks.
