Amateur landlord mistakes!

The people that do arbitrage will have a harder job selling the idea of STR to landlords tho. 

It's also wise to check references from previous landlords to understand their payment history and behavior as a tenant.Once all the information checks out, you can proceed to signing the lease and collecting the security deposit and first month’s rent.Good Luck!

I became financially independent through real estate investing in 2020, have been a landlord since 2004, and joined the Subto mentorship because I feel that the market is ripe for more creative deals.

This would allow you to gain valuable experience as a landlord while also benefiting from lower downpayment options.

Also - I'm dealing with an applicant right now who appears to live with a family member (same last name, listed as the landlord on her application) who was just served an eviction notice on September 14.

With buying a house hack - you quickly learn what ownership is, how to manage current tenants and pre-vet new tenants, how while you're owning the property - you're investing in yourself and not someone else's own property by just paying the landlord rent.What's fun about this game is it really does not matter how old you are when you're getting started.

I would have simply said they the ceiling fan stays when they move out as its an upgrade and a light fixture is a "fixture" aka once attached to real estate it legally becomes part of the real estate and YOUR (the landlord's) property.

I have the BP one but am looking for ideas for any changes or additions that seasoned landlords like to include.Thank you!

Excellent communication can make or break a relationship.Tenant Screening Process:One of the biggest headaches for landlords is problem tenants, and a good property manager should have a thorough screening process in place.
