There is a lot you need to know to be a successful investor and landlord and while nothing beats doing it -  as the best way to learn - you really need to have a good understanding of the fundamentals and the ins and outs.

But remember that what is favorable now could come unfavorable in the future as they readjust over time.Reasons many landlords avoid vouchers include the hassle of the extra inspections, the perception of a worse tenant, and maybe the inconvenience of getting rent from two different parties. 

And having good habits and being disciplined will help you be a good investor, property manager, landlord, etc. 

If they passed away, stepped up basis,  multiple properties then a landlord- getting old they will want to sell- their kids won’t want them, etc etc.  

I have solid commercial leases, but I am interested in what landlords request of prospective commercial tenants to do the due diligence?

Pass-through utilities are those that get billed to the landlord, and we pass the charge on to the tenant.UTILITIES.

If you liked the working on houses repeat and rent out the original house (and learn if you like being a landlord).

Have you considered partnering with landlords?

Ironically, platforms designed for real estate (Zillow, Apartments.com, Rentler, etc.) produce very few tenants for me, compared to FB Marketplace (and I also find a lot of their functionality to be user un-friendly, from the landlord side). ...you'd think that platforms custom-made for real estate would make the process a snap for landlords, but it takes me a lot longer to post and manage rental listings on Zillow or Rentler than it did on Craigslist.

Whether it’s problem-solving on the fly, handling difficult conversations, or simply staying calm in the chaos, these experiences are shaping me into a better landlord—and, hopefully, a better person.Real estate isn’t just about turning a profit.
