House hacked and Secured my first tenant! Excited to expand on this first step!
Hey ya'll!
So, 2 parts to this post.
First, simply wanted to share with everyone that as of June 1st this year, I secured a tenant for the vacant bedroom in my house! Long story short, I moved out of my house to live with my girlfriend, and in doing so I left the master bedroom vacant since the other two rooms were occupied by my parents. After some time, it became obvious that I needed to do something with this room, and do it ASAP. Initially, I wanted to utilize Furnished Finder (hence my previous post asking you all for input about it) but after a month or more of little to no interest, I had to start looking else where. Put the room up for rent on Rent-A-room and with in day's had a couple people interested. Made my choice on which tenant I felt most comfortable with, and BAM! Now I'm a landlord! We ultimately agreed on her signing a 6 month lease, and with in 2 months living there, she assured me she wanted to stay a minimum of another 6 months after! I feel lucky because the tenant, living with my parents, has been so cool with everything! Gets along with everyone in the house just fine, and requests almost nothing from me!
Ok, with that out of the way, the second part of this post was intended to focus more on my next moves.
I just finished filling out the info for "find an agent", and funny thing is, the agent literally just text me! Hasn't even been 30 minutes!
What should be my next step?
I consistently here on the podcast and YouTube about building a team, who would be the next person to contact?
I want to thank any who read and comment on this in advance!
Hope all are well, Take care!
