Investment Property Blog-Tenants

You could almost argue that this entire blog eventually ends up at Tenants. They are why we are in business. They are the customers. They are the headaches. They are the money (inbound from rent and outbound from repairs).

Here are just a few of the best posts from the last 12 months about tenants:

As you consider buying investment property – part of your research should be to talk with and ask alot of questions of people who currently are landlords. You will learn alot and save yourself time, money and headaches!

Surprisingly, despite the number of tenants I go through in a year, I rarely get those calls. When I do, I am happy to tell the caller what I think [...]

	High Maintenance Tenants(3) So everyone knows what a high maintenance person is. In fact, some of us have dated (or are married to ) some (not you honey)! These are people that just can’t seem to be satisfied with anything despite how good it is. When you get one of these as a tenant, watch out. They can [...]

	Storing Your Tenant’s Stuff(3) I have written several times about how much joy I get in having to store a tenant’s stuff after they move out.
