Join a Landlord Association!

Many of the landlord tales of woe we read about could have been prevented or readily handled if the owner had been associated with a good landlord group.

The one I belong to has been invaluable. They provide every form - leases, notices, etc. that a landlord would ever need. They’re all continually updated to reflect all changes in the laws.

They have regular meetings and conferences to address renting, maintenance, legal issues, markets, etc. They invite professionals - officials (attorney general), to speak on topics relevant to the business.

There are seasoned, experienced landlords that gladly give free advice and pointers.

They have full time lobbyists to fight against the pervasive ‘tenants rights’ groups we continually have to battle.

I attribute much of my success as a landlord to my involvement with a great association.

@Aaron K. Sounds like you’re purposely discouraging investors from investigating landlord associations that just might be of benefit to them.

There are good and bad organizations of all kinds, REIA groups included.

Hate to see people pass up opportunities based just on your unfortunate experience.
