Listen On:
Three years and 116 episodes in, Kevin and I thought it was time to let our listeners do the talking. In this episode of the Your Landlord Resource Podcast, we count down the Top 5 Most-Listened-To Episodes — the ones you keep coming back to — and break down why they resonated so strongly with self-managing landlords.
The countdown includes Episode 58 on the hidden costs of owning rental properties, Episode 6 on creating standard operating procedures, Episode 95, a fan-favorite Q&A where we tackled real landlord problems, Episode 56 on how and when to transfer your rental property into an LLC, and the number one most-listened-to episode of all time: Episode 99 on Five Oversights That Drain Landlord Profits.
We revisit what made each episode so impactful and share a few updates since they were originally published — including a reminder that tax laws and landlord-tenant laws change, so always work with your CPA and a real estate attorney. Also discussed is how listener feedback directly shapes the content we create and invite landlords to reach out about one-on-one coaching.
Whether you are brand new to rental property ownership or a seasoned investor looking to sharpen your systems, this episode is a great roadmap for where to start — or where to go deeper.

Landlord Update Greetings! I am sitting here in awe and cannot believe it is already June. I don’t necessarily want to slow time down, but I sure do wish it could go at a pace where I was able to make more time to appreciate all the goodness around us. In the last newsletter I discussed how we finally finished kid 2’s duplex and it is now on the market in Boise. He and I have had some long conversations about how to price the rental rates for the units, and he wanted to shoot for the stars…Read more - The Landlord’s Checklist for High Tenant Retention and Demand
