Part of this is due to putting systems in place and improving tenant screening, but I never would have been forced to do that if I didn't grow.

The lead paint issue is probably just a smoke screen, and shouldn't affect a new buyer that much, unless you have local remediation/removal requirements.

By adjusting your point of view, you can dramatically increase your satisfaction in life while simultaneously building your REI portfolio.How many landlords have walked into their resident's places only to find 60" flat screen TVs with a really nice sound system while the landlord's old 27" CRT TV (w/ no sound system) is sitting at home?

Screen your tenants diligently.

Hopefully you can find someone within the group that might need help screening or showing rentals as a way to start.

Or you could rip a short piece of flat trim to the thickness you can allow and do a similar treatment.BTW, Allure is a great flooring choice if you haven't put it in yet.

If you put a limit yearly on the number of commissions paid then it aligns your interest with the PM.If they know after 1 turn in a year they will not get more commission but just ongoing rents they will pay attention very closely on enforcing the tenant screening procedures and wanting to figure out how to get them to pay in full versus evicting.It's all about structuring things where it's not in the PM's best interest to do the easiest thing in the moment that might hurt your cash flow.

I suppose a screen capture might work, but then there is a bunch of superfluous junk.

I've had concerns from neighbors about my rentals and I always try to assure them that I carefully screen all of my tenants because I'm just as concerned about the quality of person that's living there as they are.
