Hey BP, 

What is the general consensus on allowing your tenant to do work on your property? 

I have a prospecting tenant who is a handyman by trade. I have not gotten to know him or his work yet, but he is already asking if I would be interested allowing him to partially finish my basement by providing labor if he moves in (he wants an office space and spare room for his family.) 

He is also expressing "you will have no maintenance worries while we are renting from you since I would do all that, you would just cover materials." 

Naturally having a handyman in the home sounds wonderful, but my gut is telling me no. Am I wrong for having this gut feeling? My gut tells me I don't know this man, the quality of his work, etc. Over time with any tenant, I could allow repairs on a case by case basis and slowly build trust, but how many of you let your tenants do repairs and how many prefer your own handyman? Who knows, maybe this guy will become my trusted handyman. 

Match made in heaven or conflict of interest?

Hello BP, 

My name is Alysha and I have a property in Littleton CO. I recently posted asking about pet fees/ deposits, but I am starting to wonder if accepting pets in general is simply too risky? 

How many of you do or do not accept pets and why? 

For those of you who do accepts pets what are your guidelines? What pets do you allow? Do you have breed restrictions? What do you put in your lease to protect yourself? 

I was considering accepting pets on a case by case basis, and simply interviewing each tenant and even meeting their pet... But am I putting in too much effort for a potential risk. Pro vs cons? 

Thank you, 

Alysha

Hello BP, 

My name is Alysha and I have a property in Littleton CO. I am considering doing an open house for my rental because a mentor recommended it, but I am not fully confident in this approach. 

Does anyone recommend an open house vs individual showings, and if so what is your approach towards this? 

Thank you, 

Alysha

Hello BP Team, 

My name is Alysha and I live in Littleton Colorado. I am curious if many of you prefer a pet deposit or prefer monthly payments. I have a 3bd 3ba single family. In either instance what is your price? Thank you

Hello, my name is Alysha and I live in the Denver Metro area in Colorado. I am currently looking for a team to work with who specializes in buying and selling investment residential properties. I am eager to find a team who appreciates building investment portfolio and works with them in various ways. I am currently in the process of obtaining my real estate license and I am set to complete my exam by the end of April. 

If I'm being honest, I am truly interested in working with any real estate brokerage that specializes in investment residential, commercial or even property management. I am hoping to find a company to build my skills on and equally help a company build and expand on their goals as well. I plan to contact a handful of brokerages through the networking platform on BP, but does anyone have any advice on where to begin my search for companies to work for and how to narrow down my search. Thank you for any and all help.
