Large apartment complexes flooded the market with inventory and are offering crazy incentives and amenities that crush the small landlord which can make finding a tenant challenging and often for less than market rent. 

I borrowed more money and built a new detail shop; no more crummy landlord!

Landlord-tenant regulations are a bit complex in California and getting hands on is the best way to learn before expanding into larger investments. 

@James Wise MICHIGAN UPDATE: new law went into effect January 2, that landlords can no longer discriminate on tenant income source.

- Hi @Sunny WuThanks for sharing your challenge... it’s a tricky spot, but one that many landlords face.

Should landlords put signs on rental properties?

It's great for a landlord if the tenant is properly screened. 

I have landlord insurance with deductible $2500. the house has continuous flooring, meaning the entire house has same LVP. 

Baselane, on the other hand, provides everything you need at a reasonable cost and is tailored for smaller landlords like us.

We have no experience managing tenants but have both been renting for a few years now, which has given us some perspective on being good landlords.
