Listen On:

We are starting to break down the processes we use to give other landlords some guidance on where to start with their rental property business.  This is just a continuation of us working to get other landlords into the positive mindset and professional outlook required to take their rental property investments to the next level.

Security deposits and move outs can be very litigious and costly areas for rental property owners if they do not understand proper procedures.

In this episode we give actionable steps for landlords to follow when it comes to a tenant moving out.  We also do our best to drill into rental property owners the purpose of security deposits and whose money it really is.

This is like a mini masterclass on what to do when tenants end their tenancy.  Learn from the situations we have experienced.  So, sit back and give yourself some time to listen and contemplate the information we are putting out there.
