This move will likely prevent a lawsuit, however unlikely, from happening due to unobtainable info.Reason 2: I am reducing my administrative responsibilities as much as possible.

They check the exterior each time and seal any new holes, make recommendations about anything I might need to do to help prevent pests, place bait boxes around the perimeter and will go inside if needed.

I’ve also managed units where on our renewal rate we did reduce the rent from the prior year, but for other reasons, such as the prior year of the tenant having a washer and dryer, and a major plumbing issue with the building, preventing us from offering it the following year so we did a reduction.

I believe it tends to give me a slightly lower return, because the sponsor is going to be more careful, and if there is a severe downturn will prevent me from taking catastrophic losses.

@Tori Roy, I can’t point you to the court records, but I remember learning that anti-trust laws prevent NAR from limiting MLS access to Realtors.I think the solution for you is a no-frills, no-desk-fee broker plus signing up for your local MLS without joining the Realtor board attached to it.I’d suggest doing a little googling, then calling your local Realtor board and inquiring (dare I say “badgering”) them about buying MLS access without joining.Good luck!

@Khalid Bryan another option if not affordable rental properties is if you would like to try the BRRR method I would look for properties that are not moving ready or maybe the condition prevents them for qualifying for an FHA loan or low down conventional loan, and do the necessary repairs to make it safe to live in clean and fresh.

There are slumlords that do the cheapest options, and I say--look for the ones that do bandaids vs. fixing a problem, and be willing to pay more for a well maintained one as that seller knows the value of a well maintained home will prevent a lot of the problems!

@Feras Saffar-there is nothing you can put in a lease that can prevent everything bad from happening-if you screen for high quality tenants that can help-yes, you will experience turnovers that exceed the cost of the security deposit.
