Becoming a successful landlord can be a complicated endeavor if you don’t know what you are doing.  Sure, we all know those people in our area who are well known, successful landlords, and we all want to be those landlords.

Whether you made the decision to become a landlord or you became an “accidental landlord”, you can successfully self manage your rentals with systems, procedures and rental criteria.  You can become one of the landlords that everyone admires and looks to for advice because you are happy managing your business and living the dream.

You don’t have to become one of those landlords who wasn’t so “lucky” as you  are forced to stand by and watch helplessly as your properties lose money hand over fist.

Without systems, landlords usually find out pretty quickly that owning and managing rental property can become a terrible nightmare and becomes a money sucking proposition.

All landlords start out with the very real dream of creating passive income, however without systems, these same landlords have to watch their dream of a steady, monthly income go down the drain.

I have been a property manager since 2010 and I manage a large number of rental properties ranging from single family homes, apartment buildings, commercial warehouses and strip shopping centers. 

It seemed like I was always dealing with tenant who had trouble paying the rent and I just  got sick and tired of dealing with all of the problems.  These tenants were difficult to deal with,  always had excuse after excuse and made a lot empty promises that were never kept.  Because these tenants never did what they were supposed to do, I spent a lot of time chasing money. 

This process of dealing with these bad tenants is exhausting and I knew something had to change.  The first thing I did was start reviewing all of my bad tenants and trying to figure out where I went wrong.  I started to see patterns that we easy to identify if you knew what to look for.   From there, I started implementing systems that help me identify those people and screen them out very early on.  This leaves me with a much smaller pool of prospects that have been pre-screened and have a much better chance of qualifying to rent from me.
