You guys sell this stuff, no one promotes this besides the one selling it.  

I nerd out on this stuff. 

That's some good stuff right there!

Over time, Section 8 rents did not keep up with market rents for my properties, so I slowly converted them to market tenants.Pros of Section 8:You are likely to have families as tenants, so it is more common to have long-term tenants.These are lifelong renters, so you don't get calls for stupid stuff that really should be tenant's responsibility.Most are used to slum lords, so simply being responsive builds huge amounts of goodwill to you.Cons:the biggest one, for me, was the annual inspections.  

TurboTenant does digital signatures for leases and other documents, condition report templates, automated and one-time ACH transfers, chats with tenants (so there is a record... just in case), and lots of other great stuff.

I've been a landlord for a little over 2 years and I've learned a lot of stuff, but one of the most annoying lesson's I'm dealing with is that I just can't trust anything tenants say.

Hey @Devin Bost, so if I need to ship something direct, I just ship it to my lake house and my neighbor will go and put it in the garage for me.I then let my cleaner know about whatever it is, usually toiletries and the like, so she can put them away.I am about 7 hours away from our rental so I do drive over 2-3 times a year to take a look, make small repairs and stock up stuff.

Maybe the construction costs would end up being the same no matter how it’s done, but I haven’t done much new construction last few years, I’ve just been buying existing stuff, so I just don’t know. thanks!

Still figuring out how the technical stuff on the forum works but thanks to everyone that replied to my welcome to BP!
