HOLY MOLY! Let’s start by asking…. Do you list

HOLY MOLY!
Let’s start by asking…. Do you listen to our podcast?🎧

A couple of months ago we dropped TWO episodes (#39/#40) all about questions to ask a property manager when screening them to take over management of your rental property.

As if that wasn’t great enough (cause they’re pretty awesome as is), we decided to create a 14-Page questionnaire for landlords to use when vetting a property manager!

THIS QUESTIONNAIRE INCLUDES OVER 60 QUESTIONS, with space for either the prospective PM to complete or for YOU to use for notes when interviewing them in person.

To purchase go to @YourLandlordResource and tap the blue link in our bio, or to YourLandlordResource.com/LINKS/

🎙️Check out our podcast! This week we are talking all about the steps to take to transfer your rental property title to your LLC.

⏰It’s Spring Maintenance Time! Go work on you

⏰It’s Spring Maintenance Time!

Go work on your rental properties and see what improvements you need to make…

But don’t forget to do Spring cleaning in your office as well!
📁Clean out old tenant files over 3 years old (shred any sensitive information)
💲Evaluate your expenses: Check property tax evaluations, see where you can make any cuts to overhead or monthly expenses.
🤔💭Do planning on how to improve your business: Buy more properties? become a private lender? 1031 exchange existing properties? How can you increase your income?

At minimum once a year you should be doing a deep dive into your business and evaluating all these areas.

We do inspections twice a year. Once in the Fall

We do inspections twice a year.

Once in the Fall and once in the Spring.

In the Spring we ask all our primary techs to come and do their inspections alongside us. Kevin and I can handle a lot, but our expertise is not construction, mechanical, nor pests. It’s how to run and operate rental properties.

So, we let the professionals do their job, so we can do ours.

They are looking for water leaks, pests, and checking the HVAC mechanicals to make sure they are working correctly. We are looking for lease violations or maintenance that needs to be performed.

Our general contractor (GC) is present for both inspections as well as all move out inspections, so he can evaluate the space and recommend improvements to make based on our current financial position and future goals.

This may cost us around $2000 annually for multiple units, BUT we do feel more confident and at peace that the properties are cared for and we have done our best to prevent any issues from occurring.

Do you hire contractors or techs to do inspections with you?

We are not throwing shade against property manager

We are not throwing shade against property managers!

We ARE property managers as well as investors.

However, much like many businesses, we survive by charging additional fees to the owners and the tenants.

The fees stated above are just a few of many fees that property managers can charge, so please be diligent when interviewing them.

We sell a 14-page Property Management Questionnaire that you can use while meeting with a PM in person or you can send it out for them to complete.
You can purchase it for $9.99 by going to YourLandlordResource.com/Links or by clicking the link in our BIO.

Don’t you just love hidden costs? Like when you

Don’t you just love hidden costs?

Like when you go to a resort and have to pay $35 A DAY to use the grounds of the property?

Or when you get a utility bill and there are lines and lines of fees and expenses that add up to more than the actual utility usage?

Small expenses for your rental property can really add up and if you are not making a lot of income, you might find yourself underwater pretty quickly.

🎙️Check out our podcast! This week on the podcast we are trying to help you out with this same frustration in your properties. We are talking all about hidden expenses from owning and operating rentals.

Coming from someone who used to strive for perfect

Coming from someone who used to strive for perfection so that no one could tell me I didn’t do well, this concept was HUGE for me to finally understand.

Don’t get me wrong, I still strive for perfection. But I know when to accept something as it is and move on.

Money is one thing I try to control the most and when an unexpected expense comes along, it can be so frustrating!

Live and Learn🪰 Recently we had a tenant text

Live and Learn🪰

Recently we had a tenant text that they were having flies come in through a hole in their wall…
Yep, it was termites…AGAIN!

Now you think we would have learned from the first experience, but this was subterranean termites (in the ground), not drywood termites like we had the first time (think big circus tent to get rid of them).

You’d also think that we would have our pest control company do more inspections since we’ve had to go through this before… we did not.

BUT NOW WE WILL!

From this point forward, once a year (likely in Spring) we will hire and pay our pest control company to come out and do a thorough inspection of our properties and look for ALL pest infestations.

Our inspections are getting more and more involved, but we have high hopes we can do enough preventative management to limit and mitigate any issues from getting too far out of hand.

Did this video help?

🎙️Check out our podcast! This week we interviewed Sarah King of @SarahKingInvests and she had a wealth of knowledge to share about her experience as a landlord!
