A good landlord policy and corresponding umbrella policy is what you need.

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..."

Greetings BP'ers,For those of you who are long distance landlords, I’m guessing the bulk, if not all of you have a property manager.

When it's time to leave, give notice to the landlord and move out.

Are you sure you want to be a landlord?

They have pools, gyms, dog parks and a "study area" but they don't have jungle gyms, slides etc.

This means, although you won’t be making lots of month cash flow, you will have a year to create systems for your business and learn what it takes to be a landlord!

I am not a landlord so not the best to ask about buying rentals..  

Are the Judges leaning more towards the tenant than to land-lords? 

My biggest concern about landlording is finding tenants and keeping it rented.
