I feel I should be killing it at this point but it's just been 2 1/2 months of meeting people and spinning tires.

I was able to grow very quickly and when I grew tired of real estate at age 29, I had 206 different partners.

Hey All,The question I have for all you self managing landlords today is, does anyone have any good tips or tricks (I don't mean actually tricking your tenant) into a simple and stress free way of having them sign a new year lease with slight rent increase about 2.5% Ive been doing this for years now and Ive just come to the point where I'm tired of hearing the same old "Oh well we are going to probably be moving" or "This is broke, I need a new stove, bathroom, car..."

After awhile people get tired or BEING the business/active with an asset and want passive and relaxation.I do not focus on residential anymore.

There are many qualified buyers out there just kicking tires and wasting seller's time and patience.

Having to re-do a unit tires you out, having them blame you for their problems and their common threats stresses me out way too much. 

I understand the seller/listing agent wanting to avoid tire kickers but I think if they aren't willing to at least give some pertinent information up front (fine with an NDA) then it's likely not worth it.  

Some items, like flooring, are wear items, just like tires on your car. 

Or at best you follow up when she is tired of trying.

Their selling may not mean anything is untoward just that their situation has changed and they want something new or to get out of what they have, they could have run into financial trouble, gotten tired of being owners or want to deploy their capital in a better market.
