Linda Roberts What is a right way not to renew lease with a problem tenant?
30 June 2024 | 9 replies
I would NEVER, EVER offer up a reason to a tenant - minimally, you'd be subjecting yourself to an unsolicited argument/negotiation, and could be opening yourself up to a discrimination claim or other such legal entanglements. 
Jessenia Hartage Is investing in NYC a bad idea
3 July 2024 | 55 replies
Hi Jessenia,I've been in the game for quite some time and have many battle scars to prove it lolMy best advice would be to always look at a worst case scenario and start from that.By starting with a worst case scenario you will be able to quicker eliminate markets that aren't a good fit.I don't know much about NY but personally, I wouldn't invest in any market that takes 6 months or even worse longer to evict.Worst case scenario for example = Tenant doesn't pay rent and trashes the property.I would want to be able to evict, fix and re-tenant as quickly as possible.Time is money and I want to keep moving forward and not deal with financial and emotional drag.There are many markets nation wide that are landlord friendly.My business is based on Ohio and there is no mercy for non payment of rent.Eviction usually takes 6 weeks max and although I never want to evict, being able to do so quickly minimizes risk of that investment.Thanks

1 July 2024 | 58 replies
In Florida average homes have minimal molding, usually just base trim and door trim so the texture adds some visual interest to otherwise flat, boring walls.I think drywall texture is a perfect example of how you need to understand your market and your buyer's needs/wants.
