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.
