I received some great feedback from people about the tips I emailed out a couple weeks ago, so I am preparing another batch that will hopefully start coming out late this week or next. This focus will be on how to effectively show your properties (some of it covers screening!) and some techniques to make the process of renting a property a bit easier.
We have been REIN members (Real Estate Investment Network) for almost six years now and many of the tips I have previously covered and will be covering are directly out of the information we learned from the group there. Of course we have taken some and tweaked them a bit so they work better for us and I recommend you do the same with the information I am passing on to you. Taking the advice and guidance of people who have learned some of these techniques the hard way can save you a considerable amount of headache. Trust me, you don;t want to see some of the troubles I have seen by not following my own advice!
If you aren’t currently renting out a property, but have friends that are please pass some of this information on and hopefully they find it beneficial as well. It always amazes me how many people I run into that have a rental property or two and either never ask me questions, or never follow up with my offer to help them. I could understand if I was charging them per question, but everything I have given out so far is absolutely free. Apparently it is their loss and to your benefit as with some of these tips you can enter a knife fight with a tank, so to speak, and be much more prepared than your competition when it comes to owning and renting out a property.
As a final thought if I had all the tips compiled into one PDF you could download for reference, would anyone be interested? Let me know!
Trust me I could use a Landlord Bible!
Ironically Kerry, our last conversation spawned the next series of tips! Don’t worry I will help make your life a bit easier and maybe show you how you can start renting out your properties a bit easier, or at least reduce the no shows so you don’t waste time.
A PDF file would be great!
Thanks for the tips and the offer.
