AI tip 2: a friend of mine wrote an app (beta) for landlords to market themselves on a regular basis by soliciting reviews from tenants.

Mind you, with mortgage interest rates in the US being so much higher now (and seemingly for the foreseeable future), I wouldn't be surprised if LTRs in Europe would cash flow better than in the whole US nowadays (to be verified).This being said, I don't and would never invest in LT rentals outside of North America  as I wouldn't want to face unfavourable landlord/tenant laws as a foreigner.

Not to mention that in many states, appliances are not even required to be provided by the landlord.

Relationship is important with landlords and tenants, especially with small time landlords.

On here just last week, someone told everyone that all tenants hate their landlords so there was really no need to provide any level of adequate or decent levels of respect or service.

Have you ever heard of a Landlord being sued by a Tenant and losing property?

No good landlord will accept 13 animals in a rental.

Right, seriously, there's a game on Steam called "Tenants" which, I suppose, is a landlord business simulator.On sale now for $17.49.Quick blurb (not trying to advertise for them, honest):Become a landlord and deal with problematic tenantsas you build your rental property empire.

I am admittedly a newb in the process of getting all of this set up for my first rental (so correct me if I'm wrong) as well but I have some IL-specific perspective to offer: From what I have read, as of 1 Jan 2024 in IL, landlords cannot exclusively accept EFT payment of rents (includes Venmo, Zelle, etc.) for leases starting on or after that date.

If you are considering this approach, I suggest you buy an A-class property in a landlord friendly city and get a PM.
