Listen On:
First, we would love to thank all of you who submitted questions via email. We received many and selected the ones we knew we could answer in about 5 minutes or so. Please feel free to send us a question to be asked in a future episode! Our emails are in the “LINKS” section below.
This episode includes questions from 5 listeners. One is a two-part question, so we actually are answering 6 questions in total that cover the subjects of:
- Rent discounts for seniors and single moms, are they protected from Fair Housing or can another tenant claim agism/unfair treatment when not receiving a discount too?
- How to properly save cash reserves if you are discounting rents for individuals?
- Operating manuals and criteria, how to handle if there are multiple properties involved?
- Old school landlords who take checks vs ones who use landlord software, is it too late?
- What is the most important thing to focus on in the business as a landlord?
- Tips on working with rental properties together with your spouse? Apparently, we make it look easy! 😅
This was a fun episode with several subject matters to cover!

For a minimal amount, there’s a really good basic package but what we love is the option to upgrade and add 24/7 maintenance management on.
It gets better! If you reach a place where you are ready to hand off management to a property manager, Hemlane has that too under their “Complete” option.
