Tenants: How to get them in and then get them out

Real Estate Investing 201 Seminar – Wednesday, June 25, 6:30-8:00 pm

For a real estate investor, finding good tenants is almost as important as finding good properties. Having good tenants makes the property management part of real estate investing easy. Having bad tenants can make you frustrated and leave you with a hole in your bank account. We will be discussing how to screen tenants. What to look for on their credit report, how to confirm they don’t have evictions or criminal records from other states, all while staying within the credit information laws.

Unfortunately, every real estate investor will need to do an eviction some time in their career. The hardest part of an eviction is simply making a decision to do it. We will discuss when it is time to file the eviction and how the legal process works. Also, we will show you how you can streamline the work, minimize your time involvement, and insure it is done properly so that you can take your property back as soon as possible.

This seminar is geared for both the newer investor or the investor that feels like they need some help in these areas. And much more! Future seminar dates are: Aug 26, Oct 28

Hey Scott – Love your blog. How ’bout a post with some of this stuff for all of us who can’t make it up to the Land of 10,000 lakes for the seminar? Thanks!

Steve-
Interesting idea. All of the content for the seminar came from this blog, but let me think if there is a way to distill down the seminar into a post.

Thanks for reading.

	Landlord Call to Action: Don’t Wait to Start The Eviction(7) I was in eviction court last week in Hennepin County. I love sitting and listening to the other court cases. Sometimes it is a little like a case of Cops or Judge Judy! It is good entertainment to hear what the landlord and tenant say about why they are in court today. This last week I [...]

	Eviction Woes(4) I get a lot of questions about tenant evictions. I suppose it is like any job, it is the one thing that landlords have in common across all investment properties. Here is a recent note I received: I have a renter who’s lease expired in September so she is on a month-to-month lease currently. She has [...]

	Can You Be Liable for Comments About Tenants?(1) Everyone knows the drill, you take a rental application and you call the previous landlords to see what this person was like as a renter. 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. This is really a kick in the teeth if I have to store it after I just evicted them. Not only do they owe me money, they probably didn’t clean the place at [...]
