Where the interior is 𝙎𝙐𝙋𝙀𝙍 important, we only discuss issues that may have occurred due to inclement weather, like where to look for mold and what to look for with all your mechanicals/HVAC. Finally, we discuss several items for rental property owners to do some spring cleaning of in the business itself. You’d be surprised how evaluating these items can save you thousands when tax time rolls around. BONUS: We created a Spring Maintenance Checklist just for this episode!

| 10 Apr 2023 | The Importance of Rental Property Inspections | 00:28:53 | |
As we are landlords who promote professionalism and a business mindset, this episode is a prime example of how to embrace these outlooks. Too many landlords take the hands-off approach, thinking their tenants don’t want to be bothered. That the less contact they have with the tenant, the better. Maybe they won’t move out, maybe they won’t ask us for any improvements, maybe they won’t complain. Guess what? By avoiding the tenants, you’re ignoring your biggest asset, your rental property. Like your personal home or your vehicle, rental properties need periodic maintenance. It needs to be checked on to make sure your tenants are caring for it as intended in the lease agreement. Make your presence known to your tenants so they will feel like you care about your investment and, in turn, them as your “customers”. It has been statistically shown that rental properties that go without maintenance, have a higher turnover than those with active, attentive landlords. Want to the whole process we use from a week before to two weeks after our unit inspections? Give this episode a listen. Being a hands on landlord isn’t difficult. We are here to walk you through everything we know to help you move towards being a landlord that does right by your tenants. Links: Purchase our 6-Page Inspection Checklist ($9.99).

| 17 Apr 2023 | The Advantages of Employing Your Children in Your Business | 00:21:28 | |
Let’s get this out there, we are not tax specialists or CPA’s. We are discussing what we have learned from our own personal research and experience. OK, now that the disclaimer is out there, we can tell you what we discuss in this podcast episode! As your rental property grows, you may find you need more help with the everyday tasks that are time-consuming. These mundane jobs do not really help the growth of your business but are necessary to keep everything operating smoothly. In this episode, we discuss the tax savings that can occur if you employ your children in your rental property business. Depending on where you are in your journey, these tax savings can be quite significant. But it’s not all about you and your business saving money. We also touch on the personal benefits of employing your children and give several examples of what children of varying ages can do to help take tasks off your To-Do list. Finally, we discuss options for your children to save or use the earned income and how putting them in charge of their own budget is a really good idea. If you have kids (or are planning to), this episode is for you.

| 05 Jun 2023 | Our Experience With a 1031 Exchange, Would We Do It Again? | 00:32:08 | |
Over the last few years, we have been focused on our retirement accounts or should I say, focused on growing our retirement funds to allow us to enjoy the same level of living we do today. This focus is a constant evaluation of IRA funds, properties owned, income requirements, and desired spending we plan to need. It’s all centered around how much growth we can obtain over the next 10-40 years. As our investment properties ARE an integral part and large portion of our retirement plans, it makes sense they are at the top of the list when it comes to scaling and growth of them. In order to grow and scale, we need to use tactics that allow us to dodge and avoid capital gains taxes whenever possible. We are attempting to create a legacy of properties for our children to either continue to grow and scale for their own retirement income or provide a large windfall of inheritance for them to do what they please with. The last thing we want to do is create a situation where they have to pay enormous taxes on our legacy. So, Kevin had a large portion of farmland that was gifted to him by his grandmother. At the time of the gift, the land was not worth a whole lot but as investors know, appreciation is a wonderful thing! After he looked into the value of the land today, Kevin was pleasantly surprised at the value. What he was not pleasantly surprised at was the amount of capital gains taxes he would have to pay if he sold the property outright. What option did Kevin have to avoid these taxes? A 1031 exchange! So, we did a lot of research and started the process of selling the farmland and purchasing a multifamily 4-plex worth more than double the value of the land. A 1031 exchange is only as complicated as the timelines and can prove to be a very stressful process should those timelines become tight, which is what happened to us. Would we do a 1031 exchange again? You’ll have to listen to our story on this podcast and find out! LINKS: Bigger Pockets is a great resource for real estate investors.

| 12 Jun 2023 | The Top Ten Rental Property Repairs We See Most Often | 00:29:50 | |
We know that ten different kinds of repairs sounds a bit scary, but as rental property owners you may get called for a variety of maintenance calls. This episode goes over our most common repairs we have to do as landlords. Some are requests from our tenants but most are found during our inspections we do every 6 months. We discuss the issues, what causes them, how to remedy them, and if possible, what can be done to prevent them from happening in the first place. We include a lot of personal stories in this episode. Hopefully you’ll find some humor in them, but at the very least, you’ll find you are not alone on this journey of being a landlord! LINKS: Our Garbage Disposal “Fix It” Video on YouTube demonstrates what the disposal key or wrench is and how to use it. It's helpful for tenants to self remedy a jammed garbage disposal and saves YOU time and potentially money. This Garbage Disposal Wrench/Key usually comes with a new disposal, but in case it has been misplaced, you can purchase one for just a few dollars. Use blue tape to stick it on the inside of the base cabinet where your disposal is located so when you send the video above to your tenant, they are ready to solve the problem! Kidde Interconnected Smoke Detector With 10 Year Battery is the only smoke detectors we will use. They may cost more, but the early detection by sounding off ALL smoke detectors in the home at once can save lives and minimize fire damage. Smoke detectors are not where you want to skimp on quality. We include 3M Claw Picture Hangers with every welcome basket. They're what we prefer our tenants use to hang personal items up. No tools required and makes such small holes, patching at turnover is a breeze. Our 6-Page Comprehensive Inspection Checklist is made for DIY landlords.

| 19 Jun 2023 | Part 1: The Importance of a Rental Property Maintenace Team | 00:23:41 | |
Welcome to part one of a two-part series all about creating your rental property team. We are pretty handy when it comes to maintenance, but at some point, we had to learn how to hand projects off to those who can do it most efficiently. There does come a time where, even as a DIY landlord, you have to set aside your pride and desires to “do it all” and let the professionals handle things. Remembering that time is money but letting others shine is important too. Because we have a multitude of people we work with in our business, we did focus only on the primary points of contact we make. So, we talk a bit about each and every team member we use on a regular basis and then some we don’t use as often, but still play a crucial role in our rental property business. Next week we will release part two, Developing Your Office Operations and Business Team, which explores all those, including software, that contribute to our efficiency on the business side of managing our rental properties.

From Marketing Your Unit to Vetting the (Prospective) Tenant, this wide-ranging guide is an important reference to have in your landlording arsenal! Includes lease tips plus advice on the tenant move-in procedure. Use a property manager? These tips and guidance are ones you should be making sure your PM is executing on for you. You should have a basic knowledge of how to market your rental property and place the best tenant in it!

| 26 Jun 2023 | Part 2: Developing Your Office Operations and Business Team | 00:21:36 | |
Welcome to the second part of our two-part series all about creating your rental property team. If you missed last week where we chat about our maintenance contacts and who we depend on in our field operations, please give episode 14 a listen! This episode discusses our business contacts who we depend on in our office operations. Both Kevin and I have business degrees, but they don’t mean anything if we try to DIY it all and not hand business operations off to the professionals. We rely on a few professionals that have walked us through THE MOST IMPORTANT aspects of our business. Of course you'd guess our CPA and our attorney but give it a listen to find out who else is essential to our team and building our success as rental property owners! Lastly, we briefly discuss the software we rely on and a few we are looking into to continue to streamline our business practices.
LINKS: TurboTenant is a great option for landlords with just a few doors or for those who may be new to using rental property software. For the most part, TurboTenant’s software is free to use so they are perfect for those on a tight budget. Hemlane is a software that is built to grow with your needs as a landlord. For a minimal amount, there's a really good basic package but what we love is the option to upgrade and add 24/7 maintenance management on. It gets better! If you reach a place where you are ready to hand off management to a property manager, Hemlane has that too under their “Complete” option.

This is a very important episode! It is packed with a lot of technical information so when you listen, try to be in a space where you can focus on what we are saying. We cover EVERYTHING we know about creating and operating an LLC. There are a lot of pros and cons included in this episode and we give you a list of points to consider when thinking about whether an LLC is a good idea for you to hold your rental property investments in. From what goes into the creation and maintenance of an LLC to the location of your LLC should be when you own out of state property, as well as how an LLC can even benefit your heirs, we really did try to discuss all the points that one would need to know before making the decision.

| 10 Jul 2023 | Maintaining Work-Life Balance as Rental Property Owners | 00:30:36 | |
This episode veers off the “how to” path and takes a look at the challenges we face as rental property owners. Sometimes being a landlord is not easy. Often there are a lot of demands from your tenants, or your home, or a 9-5 job, or the needs of family and friends. Likely, all the demands seem to come at once! We all want to be able to be there and “do it all” but is that what’s best for us and for our loved ones? We don’t get specific as to exactly what you need to do to find peace; Only YOU can do that. Instead, we discuss challenges we have faced and suggest 4 steps that we are consistently referring back to for us to minimize the overwhelm. Give it a listen and let us know your thoughts on the subject matter.

Who doesn’t like to earn more profit?? We have given A LOT of examples of small items you can implement in your rental property business that will pay off BIG at the end of the year. Many of these suggestions do not take a lot of time or management but some do take some cash to get them up and running.

The units do not come with any shelving, so we cut a few boards for tenants to be able to organize their items easier. WIN-WIN! Click HERE to read more about these sheds!

| 24 Jul 2023 | Your Tenant Wants to Break the Lease, Now What? | 00:30:16 | |
Wow, is this not one of the most frustrating things to happen as a landlord? You get a good tenant placed or signed on for a lease renewal, giving you the feeling of security and ability to relax a bit. But noooooo, the tenant contacts you to say that they need to end their lease, either for professional or personal reasons. You know it’s not easy for your tenant to give you bad news and know that, depending on the circumstance, you should be compassionate or show support for this change they are experiencing. We are here to guide you on the legal reasons why a tenant is allowed to terminate their lease, how to handle non-legal reasons, and even what to do if you, as the landlord, needs to end a tenant’s lease early. Lots of juicy advice in this episode! So, tune in and if you love it, would you do us a favor and leave a kind comment? We are really trying to reach all those DIY landlords and all these podcast platforms really like it when listeners share their experience! I know we tend to check out reviews to help us decide if something is a good fit for us, help us do this for other podcast listeners.

| 31 Jul 2023 | Part 1: The Nuts and Bolts of Residential Rental Property Insurance | 00:30:52 | |
We had to split this subject into two podcasts so that our listeners wouldn’t get too overwhelmed with all the info we are throwing at them. This week we are discussing everything we know about rental property insurance for all sized residential investment properties. We talk about when you can and when you cannot use a traditional homeowner’s policy for your rentals, which kind of rental policy is best and what your decision should be based on. We couldn’t give you nuts and bolts about rental insurance without addressing umbrella policies and our varying thoughts on when those are best put to use. Who doesn’t learn best by listening to stories of what other rental property owners have experienced? We have a few juicy stories to share too! Finally, we talk about a few other options that are available to enhance your coverage. The bottom line about any insurance is it comes down to liability and risk assessment.

| 07 Aug 2023 | Rental Property Insurance Part 2, Interview with Ryan Bravo | 00:33:22 | |
Part 2 on Rental Property Insurance! Last episode, we went over the nuts and bolts of residential rental property insurance. We talked all about house hackers, single family home rentals, all the way up to multi-family units and what kind of coverage was important to each circumstance. Part 2 is where we bring in the professional and interview our broker and insurance agent, Ryan Bravo. Ryan and his brother Michael have been in insurance since the early 2000’s and took over their father’s booming insurance brokerage when he passed suddenly. These two are killing it in the insurance industry. They’ve won countless awards and are among the top 150 Farmers Insurance agencies in the country. Kevin and I are so lucky to have these guys on our team, for home and for business! Here’s what we discussed with Ryan: ▪️ The current state of the insurance industry and why many agencies are pulling out of states with a high risk of natural disasters. ▪️ The basics of a rental property policy and what it covers and does NOT. Plus, what are some riders or endorsements rental property owners should consider adding to their policies. ▪️ Umbrella polices, who should have one? Also, are they needed with the protection of an LLC? ▪️ He gave advice to a listener who submitted a question what to do after losing his insurance after filing a large claim. ▪️ Lastly, he gave five questions rental property owners should be asking new insurance agents when interviewing them. This is common if you purchase your rentals out of state… There was A LOT of useful information from the perspective of an insurance agent in this episode. Give it a listen and if you love it, will you please do us a favor and leave a kind review on your favorite podcast platform? This will really help our little podcast grow and reach other DIY landlords. How to get in touch with Ryan Bravo: Email: Ryan@TheBravoAgency.com Webpage: https://BravoInsuranceAgency.com

| 14 Aug 2023 | The Pros and Cons of Renting to Pet Owners | 00:22:00 | |
Let me start by saying that we are pet lovers. Kevin and I have owned a pet of some form for the better part of both of our lives. However, we do not prefer pets in some (most) of our units. There are good reasons why not to allow pets but the argument on why landlords should allow pets is much greater. What it comes down to is personal choice. How do you make this choice? By weighing the pros and cons! Take what you know about your rental units, your tenants, the state you live in, and how much work you are willing to do when you are faced with turning a unit that has housed a pet and use the information provided in this podcast to make an informed decision. This episode gives you practical and actionable information about the good and bad of renting to pet owners. We discuss: ▪️Landlords fears of renting to pet owners. ▪️What bad things can happen when pets reside in your rental property. ▪️The financial benefits to your income if you choose to rent to pet owners. ▪️What kind of tenants you likely will have if pets are allowed. ▪️Actionable tips on things to do when renting to pet owners. ▪️The differences between pets, service animals, and emotional support animals and why the differentiation is crucial to know. This is a VERY informative 22 minutes! So, grab your favorite drink of choice and settle in for a quick info session on why should or should not rent to pet owners! LINKS Also known as Landlord Tech, this company provides portals for landlords to manage all the pets in their rental properties. For landlords, they offer ESA verifications, contract data management, documentation storage, applications for animal requests, etc. Each tenant has their own portal where they upload pertinent information and will receive notices regarding updated forms or even violation notices. Even if you only used their ESA verification service, this company offers peace of mind. Learn more about Our Pet Policy today!

| 21 Aug 2023 | Tips On Marketing Your Rental Property, Part 1 | 00:37:28 | |
We knew we had a lot to cover, but we had no idea we had so much to talk about when it comes to marketing your rental property! We decided to split this episode into two parts, so we don’t take up too much of your, likely overwhelmed, time. In this episode we take a deep dive into understanding the amenities landlords want to promote for their rental property as well as the area or neighborhood around it. We do not live in the same areas as our rental properties, so we really do not have a good understanding or feel for what their neighborhoods are like at different times of the day or week. We also discuss the best ways to photograph your unit yourself and, if you’re adventurous, create video walkthroughs to show off your space to potential tenants. There’s a lot of great information packed into this episode! If you love it, would you do us a favor and leave a review so other landlords and rental property owners can understand the value we provide? Follow or subscribe on your favorite podcast platform! This helps push us up in the ratings and be seen and enjoyed by landlords near and far.

We focus on how to remain Fair Housing compliant when writing your ad copy. So, what you can and what you cannot write in your ads. We also discussed what time of year landlords get the best bang for their buck when placing your ads and the pros and cons for having vacancies in each season of the calendar year.

It’s a bit of a long one but we just had so much information to share we couldn’t stop talking! This episode is all about how to handle vacant rental property showings. We start off talking about the obvious and that’s how to prepare. And where we definitely discuss it, when we say prepare, we don’t just mean getting the unit ready. We are telling you ALL the things we need to do to get ourselves ready… and that’s even before we hit the market! We could not discuss showings without addressing safety.

The same principles apply to landlords and property managers.

| 02 Oct 2023 | Part 1, Rental Property Fire Safety Essentials | 00:27:31 | |
It’s that time of year again when the weather cools and people start to heat up their homes. It’s also the time of year when the number of residential fires increases. Next week is National Fire Prevention Week and we have A LOT to say about rental properties and how to work with your tenant to prevent a fire in your unit. So much to say that we did a podcast all about it and ended up having to split it into 2 parts! This week, on part 1 we discuss, ▪️ How the age of your rental property can have an increased risk of fire danger and what to look for to lessen the chance of a fire in it. ▪️ Space heaters, candles, and flammable materials in rental units and how to deal with those. ▪️ Single family home rentals vs Multifamily properties and the fire risks associated with them. ▪️ The most common fires that occur in rental properties and how to guide your tenants on how to avoid them. ▪️ Hoarding and the fire risks associated with it for both the tenant and the fire fighters. ▪️ Whether those new fire blankets being marketed all over are a good replacement for small kitchen sized fire extinguishers inside your units. ▪️ And finally, we are talking about how many fire extinguishers you need to provide for your rental property. That’s just what we cover this week so you can see why we had to split it into 2 episodes! 👉 FREE PDF from Kidde on Placement and use of a Fire Extinguisher. 👉 National Fire Protection Agency, Code Finder for fire codes by State. 👉 Kitchen fire extinguisher we use in our rentals. 👉Help other DIY landlords discover what we have to say… Please leave us a review of our podcast!

| 09 Oct 2023 | Part 2, Rental Property Fire Safety Essentials | 00:28:26 | |
If you have not done so, go back and listen to Episode 29 which is part 1 of this two-part series about fire safety in your rental properties. It’s got a TON of important information about fire safety prevention with regards to clutter & hoarding, using small appliances like space heaters, air fryers, and crock pots, and items to pay attention to depending on if you have a single-family home or multifamily rental. This episode we focused on ▪️ Inspections and the fire safety issues to be on the lookout for ▪️ Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, what we recommend, how many you need, and where they should be located. ▪️ Fire safety points to include in your lease and which addendums to use. ▪️ Fire escapes and escape plans for rental properties. ▪️ The fire codes you need to know and ▪️ And finally, how to help tenants who have pets on your property. We really try to be very comprehensive when we bring you information to help you become confident and professional landlords. This and last week’s episodes are no exception!
LINKS 👉 Fire Escape Ladder we use in our rental. Put one in each bedroom on every level of the unit. 👉 Emergency Gas Shut Off Wrench: Attach to your gas meter so tenants can turn off gas in an emergency like fire or gas leak. 👉 Interconnecting Smoke Detectors: Great for multilevel homes or ones where the bedrooms are far removed from the living area. Once one is activated, it triggers the others to alarm, bringing attention to tenants much quicker than if they had to wait for the alarm to sound right near them.

You might think this episode does not pertain to you but take a minute to hear us out. Halloween is a very festive time of year and is LOVED by people of all age groups, not just families with small children. I mean, there’s a reason Disney starts their Halloween festivities the day after Labor Day and continues it through October 31st! These people love to decorate their homes, mostly the front yard. When those homes are rental properties, do they still have the right to decorate? Of course, but sometimes with limits. What are the risks associated with Halloween? Lots! Think about the décor, parties, trick or treaters, and even the pets who live in your rentals. In this episode we are talking all about Halloween festivity risks and covering what items landlords should be communicating with tenants. Plus, we include tips on what they can do to limit these risks as rental property owners.

Whoa, is this a doozy of an episode! Or should I say our next 3 episodes! We are doing a mini masterclass on leases and addendums for rental property owners, and this is an episode you will NOT want to miss! Even if you use a preformed lease or one from your property manager, you need to know THIS ONE PART of your rental property business. What's in your lease contract is what covers you and your assets. Starting with the base lease (ours is 21 pages), we discuss each section that should be included in every landlord’s lease, and we explain why. We are sharing stories and examples of certain sections to help our listeners understand their importance, as not every area pertains to all rental properties. By going over our very comprehensive lease, section by section, paragraph by paragraph and discussing each and every clause and why it is important, you'll soon be mastering leases and addendums too. We do not expect DIY landlords to write their own leases! You can purchase REALLY GOOD leases online at EZ Landlord Forms. Check out the link and discount code in our links below!

Starting with the base lease (ours is 21 pages), we discuss each section that should be included in every landlord’s lease, and we explain why.

Things like prohibitions, repairs to the property, and appliances.

This is the final episode where we discuss leases and addendums, part 3 of a 3-part series. If you have not yet listened to episodes 32 or 33, go give those a listen before you dive into this episode where we are talking all about the addendums that can accompany the base lease used for your rental properties. We started this series with the base lease (ours is 21 pages), where we discussed each section, paragraph by paragraph, that should be included in every landlord’s lease, and we explained why. The first two episodes covered the main components of the lease that MUST be in every lease and items that are more to cover yourself with regards to your criteria or conditions and standards you set for your rental properties. Things like prohibitions, repairs to the property, and appliances. This episode we go over many of the addendums that are commonly used in both single-family homes and multifamily rentals. From landscaping to storage and garages, as well as mold, lead, and asbestos notifications. Plus, many more!

| 11 Dec 2023 | 50+ Must Ask Questions When Hiring a Property Manager, Part 1 | 00:47:42 | |
Who is better to give you questions to ask a property manager than a professional property manager! We are discussing over 50 questions (more like 65) to ask when you are interviewing a new property manager to take over your rental properties. In this episode we go over questions to give you better insight into their personal and business background as a property manager as well as contracts and fee structures. We also give you questions to learn more about their legal history and the different forms of communication they use. We not only give you the questions to ask, but we also discuss WHY they are important to you as a rental property owner. This is key because each of you has different aspects of property management that are important to you. So now you can decide how much weight to give the question based on its significance to your success. Not only do we share personal stories of how we manage our own properties, but how we manage properties for others and several issues we have found while using a property manager for our out of state property. A LOT of good stuff in the episode! And don’t you worry! We have created a questionnaire of all the questions we suggest you ask so you can just blast it out in an email or use it as a reference if interviewing a property manager in person!

This week on the podcast we are taking a step back from the educational focus of the Your Landlord Resource podcast and getting a little bit personal.

We are in the process of selling our last single family home rental which will grant us capital to buy the next multifamily. So, we will talk all about that process and the alternatives we have to make a decision on. In our Sacramento complex, we are pivoting and converting one of our studio apartments from a long-term rental into a mid-term rental. So, we will discuss how that process is going. We will also talk about a potential remodel to a unit that is much needed as well as some other upgrades we are doing to enhance our tenant’s experience. Your Landlord Resource has been our main focus for the last year so we will tell you about our plans coming up with that little side hustle we got going. And don’t fret, we have some personal projects coming up that we will bring you in on as well!

| 08 Jan 2024 | New Year, New Landlord Mindset | 00:31:50 | |
Every new year we all want to focus on some level of change. Maybe it’s to lose weight, read more books, be more active, or grow your business. Hey, we are right there with most of these people! But over the years we have learned various ways that work well for us and it’s not by creating overzealous and rarely achievable resolutions. In this episode we are connecting some real-life habits that have helped us in our personal lives which have automatically transferred over to boost our professional focuses as well. We use common examples for each of the tactics and how they can help landlords achieve organization, strategy, confidence, and growth in their rental property business. Here is a quick summary of what we discuss: We talk about intentions and how small actionable steps can help you realistically reach goals you have set for yourself, either personally or professionally. Then we discuss how decision-making and the choices you make affect the way you achieve those goals. But also, those choices are necessary and if the results don’t work out as planned, you have to adapt and pivot by using those results as a guide on what to or not to do. The conversation then goes into learning to be flexible, being organized and ways to create more time so you can work on your goals. Maybe you need to hear this, maybe you’re doing ok but can use a refresher, regardless, we are here to walk you through ways to make 2024 a good one!

| 15 Jan 2024 | Deck and Balcony Safety Beyond California SB-721 | 00:20:14 | |
So, you know how there’s laws in most states now pertaining to the health and safety of rental properties using smoke detectors, dealing with mold, about lead based paint, and how to handle tenants with bed bugs? Several years ago, California passed a law, SB-721 which basically said rental property owners of certain sized properties had to have their decks and balconies inspected and remedied by 2025 and then within every 5 years thereafter. This was in response to a deadly balcony collapse with several other instances across the state severely injuring people just hanging out to have a good time. The point is, many other states have also experienced deaths and serious injuries from decks and balconies that collapsed since California has passed this law. Now, those states are now following suit to force landlords to repair dry rotted or damaged decks or balconies. And this my friends is the subject of this week’s podcast. You may think it doesn’t apply to you but at some point, it will. It’s risk management at its best!

Where it is not every rental property investors dream to quit their traditional 9-5 job and work at self-managing their units, it is a consideration for many landlords we know.

| 12 Feb 2024 | Crafting Your Rental Property Retirement Plan | 00:36:39 | |
Retirement is a subject that used to be synonymous with Medicare, but those days are long gone. As we are close to retirement (in age and financial position), we thought you would like to know the things we considered and implemented when creating our own retirement plan. Now, we hear of people retiring in their early 50’s, 40’s, and even some are really tightening their financial belt and retiring in their 30’s. Where this takes focus and dedication, there is something we can all learn from the methodology these early retirees use. In this episode, we are discussing: · The concept of FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) and the variety of ways to achieve it. · Things to consider before retiring. · Budgeting for your retirement. · How much rental property income is needed to retire. · What to invest in if you haven’t bought a property yet. We do our best to roll through all this information concisely but check out the links below for additional resources to help with your retirement planning.

| 19 Feb 2024 | Analyzing Credit Reports For Tenant Selection | 00:32:38 | |
The process of vetting a prospective tenant is likely one of the most important tasks a landlord has. Think about it. The person you place to live in your unit needs to have personal and financial characteristics that meet your rental criteria. For us that means they need to have two positive referrals from previous landlords, a credit score of 725 or above, and net income that is at least 2.5 times the rental amount. But that’s just our qualifiers. Because income is such an important part of the investigation process for this prospective tenant, we spend a lot of time looking at their credit report. Sure, it’s likely that if they have our required score they will qualify, but we look deeper into the report to look at debt and if after paying that debt, will they have enough money to still pay rent to us? In this episode we discuss what we look for when reading someone’s credit report, because it’s a whole lot more than that one little FICO score.

| 04 Mar 2024 | The Hidden Dangers of Using Cash Apps to Collect Rent | 00:32:06 | |

| 18 Mar 2024 | Rent Control Laws: Addressing Challenges for Landlords | 00:39:36 | |
This episode is all about rent control and how it affects landlords. Where we get and understand the premise behind rent control, the issues that landlords must deal with while navigating the laws around rent control can be problematic. There are several states with cities that already have rent control ordinances, and two states with statewide rent control. Not to mention more cities and states considering adding laws or ordinances regarding rent control on the horizon. For landlords, rent control makes it difficult to keep up with maintenance and repairs. And for tenants, rent control is only helpful if they stay in the same rental for years on end. Because once they move, they’re paying market rates to landlords who are working to recoup lost income from their previous tenant. Bottom line, rent control has been found that it’s not all cracked up as it appears to be. Want to know what you should be prepared for in case it comes to the town of your rental property? Lots of good stuff in there for ALL landlords, regardless of whether your rental is in a rent-controlled area or not. Check out this week’s podcast where we are discussing what it is, who it benefits, the challenges landlords face, and how to work around them.

| 08 Apr 2024 | How and When to Transfer Your Rental Property Into an LLC | 00:27:45 | |
So, way back we did an episode discussing the pros and cons of whether holding your rental property in an LLC is right for you or not. Well, we had a lot of requests asking us to talk about the actual process of transferring your rental property into an LLC and now here we are discussing it. It may seem like a very cut and dry concept, and for the most part it is, but there is quite a bit to know about the process before you take the steps to make that transfer. Things like, will your mortgage lender allow it? What if my rental was purchased with a 1031 exchange that was titled in my personal name? What forms do we need to use? Or how will the process affect getting loans on future properties? We are using personal stories of our transfers to help you get a clear understanding of why we did or did not choose to transfer our rentals to an LLC. Plus, we tried our best to keep it as simple as possible so you can have a clear understanding of what transferring your real estate investments into an LLC entails.

So, the one thing that everyone needs to realize is that how we own and operate OUR rental property business may differ from YOUR way of doing things. I know, crazy, right? The thing is that the kind of rental that you prefer, be it single family home or large multifamily complexes and the location of those, be it out of state or right in your backyard, and the condition of those, be it run down with a ton of added value or with everything in place so all you have to do is step in and run it…all makes a huge difference on what your expenses will be. HOWEVER, there are a bunch of expenses that some landlords, us included, might forget to consider when evaluating a new property or maybe even when making a change to an existing one. Those hidden expenses are what this episode is all about. Give it a listen to learn what you might have to prepare for.

| 13 May 2024 | Fair Housing and Emotional Support Animals (ESA’s) | 00:40:28 | |
When it comes to rental properties and animals, there are a lot of things to consider. You (for now) have the right to refuse pets, but you do not have the right to ever refuse a service animal. We will say that, for the most part, we do not allow pets in our units. So, when an applicant or an existing tenant comes to us with a request for a service animal, we are not thrilled to say the least. And we are not concerned with service animals in the traditional sense, you know, the ones who guide the visually impaired or the ones who walk alongside someone in a wheelchair and help open doors and pick dropped items off the ground. Those animals are very highly trained and are certified and registered assistant animals. Today we are discussing ESA’s or emotional service animals that now have rights through the Department of Housing and Urban Development under Federal Fair Housing laws. In many cases (not all), these ESA’s are glorified pets. There is no training, there is no certification. The doctors who authorize these pets very rarely even meet the pet to see how it interacts with the patient and observe if it is a good fit. When it comes to these service animals in rental properties, there are many questions that come to mind like, will it damage our units? And then, if it’s a dog, will it cause a commotion and disturb the other tenants? What are WE going to have to do to make this accommodation request amicable? Do we have any rights in the matter of allowing these service animals? These are all things and so much more that we are discussing in our episode today. So, grab a coffee and give it a listen while we go over what you need to do if you are faced with this request.

| 20 May 2024 | The Best House Rules for Tenants | 00:33:30 | |
So, this subject might seem obvious to those landlords who are a bit more established but for those newbies out there, this one’s for you! House rules are your regulations and guidelines that need to be noted within your lease to protect you and your tenants by establishing clear expectations between all parties involved. Because believe it or not, tenants do need these guidelines to ensure a peaceful living environment and experience for themselves and any other tenants in the property. And we wholeheartedly agree that house rules define the expectations you have for your tenants when it comes to responsibility, respect, and behavior. Essentially, you are creating boundaries to minimize any issues or disagreements that may arise down the line. For us, many of the rules we are talking about today are a bit obvious. However, for many of you, your own rules likely will arise from errors in judgement or prior lack of detail that led you to a place of frustration. So, check out what we feel is important to know about house rules and see if you need to make any changes to your own!

| 27 May 2024 | What You Need to Know About Owning Rentals Located in an HOA | 00:32:20 | |
So, a few years ago we bought a 4-plex that was located within the confines of an HOA or Homeowners Association. And the numbers worked, so that was great, And we were told that they handle a lot of the landscaping and care for the parking and deal with all the trash again, which was great. But we made a crucial mistake and did not thoroughly read the bylaws, which is all on us. There was one item in there that made a really big difference on how well this new purchase would play out. So, this week on the podcast, we are talking all about what it means to own a rental property within an HOA. There are several pros and cons to Homeowners Associations. Some aspects can be fantastic when owning a rental governed by them and others can really affect the value of your rental and the ability to rent it.

| 17 Jun 2024 | Why We Pivoted from a Long-Term Rental to a Mid-Term One | 00:36:29 | |
When it comes to business, ANY business, the name of the game is to be constantly evaluating where you are and where you could be. Besides the fact that our expenses have increased significantly across the board for all of our properties, we are in a growth mode and are looking to earn as much as we can to continue to scale our portfolio. This is not us being greedy or money hungry landlords. We do not impose unfair fees on our tenants or charge for amenities that should be included with the rent. This is a business strategy where we analyze and evaluate what we can do to increase revenue in our prime location properties. In this episode we discuss why we decided to swap a long-term leased unit in our 6-plex for a midterm option. We give all the details of why we switched, what that change entailed, and what we have learned in the process.

| 24 Jun 2024 | Renters Insurance: Why Landlords Should Require It | 00:20:58 | |
First and foremost, let us clarify that this is not YOUR landlord property insurance. Renters insurance is taken out by the tenant to cover their personal possessions. A few years ago, we only "suggested" that our tenants take out a policy, but we now REQUIRE it from all tenants because it covers way more than just the tenant’s personal property. In this episode we are discussing what renters’ insurance is, why you should make it mandatory for all tenants to have a policy, and how their policy (at no cost to you), also covers you.

If you have not heard of Dan Borrero, owner of USA Land Ventures, this is your chance to learn from one of the best in the business. Since 1989 this investor started his journey as a self-managing landlord and, at one time, had over 300 units he and his team managed! As retirement is creeping up, he has made some changes and is beginning the process of reducing his portfolio to manage, which is now down to just around a hundred doors or so. We are talking entrepreneurship, building a team, risk management, and so much more! Dan is a wealth of knowledge not only for rental properties and investing, but also with his outlook on life. He really knows how to put things in perspective, and we sincerely enjoyed the hour we were able to spend with him during this interview.

This is a hot topic in many areas right now! From property lot lines to someone actually gaining entry to your property and living there, many real estate investors have to be very careful about what you buy, how you manage the land and the structure, and protecting your vacant property. In this episode we are talking about the law behind squatting, also known as adverse possession. We will discuss the history behind it, where it has gone wrong, and what some states are now rushing to do and correct the problem. This is a two-part podcast episode. This week is all about what it is and how it can affect your rental property. Next week we will discuss what to do if a squatter moves into your rental and how to protect yourself from it even happening in the first place.

| 22 Jul 2024 | You Asked Questions, We Have Answers | 00:36:02 | |
Occasionally, we like to do a landlord Q&A episode because we get a lot of questions from our listeners and followers that are important for all of us rental property owners to know about. This week on the podcast we are answering several follow up questions that came up about renters’ insurance. Specifically, can landlords pay for a policy on behalf of the tenant, can landlords REQUIRE tenants hold renter’s insurance, and how do we handle if the tenant takes out a renter’s insurance policy and then cancels it a few months after moving in? Another question was about what’s better in a rental, gas or electric appliances. And before you go off on how electric is best, listen to what we have to say about tenants’ opinions on gas operated ones. We were also asked about what mistakes we have made and how we corrected them. That was fun to rehash some pretty major errors in judgement! But we do have really solid solutions on how to overcome and avoid some of those mistakes made. With the warm weather, landlords are getting asked permission to have a kiddie pool at their rentals. We have some really important points to consider before just saying yes or no to this request. Lastly, we were asked about the importance of understanding Fair Housing laws as a self-managing landlord. So, we addressed this quickly and confidently, offering very easy solutions on how to handle it.

| 02 Sep 2024 | Adding Value to Your Rental Property for Appeal and Profitability | 00:49:03 | |
Ever seen the term "added value" when searching for rental properties to purchase? Usually this implies the purchase price may be reduced because there are improvements that can and should be made to make the property more profitable.

For landlords who want to operate a profitable rental property portfolio enabling you to grow and scale your portfolio, accurate bookkeeping is essential. Just like all businesses, you must maintain good records that will enable you to evaluate and understand your property’s performance and your return on investment or ROI. Listen, we know this is not a sexy topic. But managing your records and finances for your rental property properly can lead to significant tax savings, more rental income, lower expenses, and better profitability. This episode covers why consistent bookkeeping is so important, what metrics to track, creating a budget, and tips on setting up your ledger accounts. And in true fashion, we had so much to say that next week we will continue this conversation and discuss the accounting software that is available to rental property owners and self-managing landlords.

For landlords who want to operate a profitable rental property portfolio where you can grow and scale your properties, accurate bookkeeping is essential. It is just like any other business. You must maintain good records that will in turn enable you to evaluate and understand your property’s performance and your return on investment or ROI. Where last week we discussed tips on bookkeeping like tracking, budgeting, and how best to set up your ledger accounts, this week we are talking about what accounting software can best fill your need for such things as bookkeeping automation, reporting, workflow, and tax prep. Again, not a sexy topic but one that is much needed to keep all of us investors financially aware of what is happening with our rental properties.

| 23 Sep 2024 | The Features Tenants Want Most in a Rental | 00:48:53 | |
Do you ever think about what you can do to draw tenants to your rental property? Like, how can you stand out from all the other properties on the market? This week on the podcast we are talking all about what the tenants want and look for when searching for their next home. Much like the adding value podcast we did a few weeks ago, but this is from the tenant’s perspective, not the landlords. There are several features that do not cost much, if anything at all, that rental property owners can implement to make their investment more appealing (and thus, more profitable) over their competitors. From location, budget, digitalization, and physical amenities renters are looking for, we are covering it all on this episode of the Your Landlord Resource Podcast.

| 30 Sep 2024 | Toxic Mold: What Landlords Need to Know | 00:31:10 | |
Yep. That’s right, this is an episode about mold. It may seem odd but, in several states, some pretty strict rules have passed regarding disclosures, cleanliness, responsibility, and remediation. In this episode we are discussing all those things as well as what to do when a tenant reports that they have found mold in their unit. It’s unfortunate that nearly all the research we combed through was written by lawyers with tips for tenants on what to look for and when it would be appropriate to file a claim against their landlord. Because of that, we wanted to make sure all landlords were informed of the consequences of not taking mold seriously and tips on how to keep yourself out of the hot seat when it comes to mold. LINKS 👉 Request the CAA mold addendum we use in our lease. Emails located further down in links. 👉 State mold rules and regulations: go to your state department of environmental protection or your state department of public health. 👉 For potential mold-related legislation, search: National Conference of State Legislatures' Environmental Health State Bill Tracking Database.

| 07 Oct 2024 | Fire Safety, Landlord and Tenant Responsibilities | 00:20:23 | |
October 6-12, 2024, is Fire Prevention Week. Since we have many firefighters in our family who are constantly reminding us of what we need to be on top of regarding fire safety in our rental properties, we thought we would do a shorty episode to go over fire safety tips. In this episode, we are focusing on who is responsible for what tasks. So, we are discussing all the fire safety responsibilities that the landlord must take care of and then jumping over to the other side and discussing what the tenants must handle. And newsflash, even if the tenant has some responsibility in making sure your rentals remain safe, it is up to you to manage that they are following through and doing those tasks. We are also including what landlords need to do to mitigate the risks of tenants not following through. As this episode runs much shorter than our usual episodes, I hope you can make the time check this important episode out.

| 14 Oct 2024 | Fair Housing and Criminal Background Checks | 00:31:45 | |
As landlords, you must balance protecting your property and tenants with complying with anti-discrimination laws. This episode explores how the Fair Housing Act intersects with tenant screening practices, focusing on HUD's 2016 guidance regarding criminal records. We explain why a blanket “no criminal history” policy can lead to unintended discrimination, particularly under the concept of disparate impact. We also break down state-specific laws, such as “ban the box” ordinances that restrict when and how landlords can inquire about criminal records. Of course, we giving advice on documenting decisions, staying compliant with state and local laws, and common pitfalls to avoid. If you’re a landlord navigating tenant screening, this episode will equip you with the knowledge to create a fair, legally compliant, and effective criminal background check policy.

We all pay someone to do work for us at some point or another. But did you know that how you classify those funds paid (code and book that payment accounting wise), can determine if you think they are a 1099 worker or a W-2 employee? This week on Your Landlord Resource we are discussing the two rules that the Federal government and potentially your state government use to determine the difference between the two.

Effective communication is key for landlords in maintaining a positive relationship with tenants and ensuring smooth rental operations.

There is a time and place to be casual and absolutely a time when being professional is of utmost importance.

| 18 Nov 2024 | Should Landlords Get Their Real Estate License? | 00:38:19 | |
Lately, we have been getting landlords asking us if it would be a good idea for them to get their real estate license. And where we wish we could give a definitive YES or NO, we can only explain the pros and cons to getting and holding a real estate license. This episode will give landlords pondering with the thought of getting their real estate license as much information as possible to, hopefully, help you make that decision. Holding your real estate license is fantastic and has A LOT of benefits, but only if you have a plan on how you will use it. Is it only for personal use in your rental property business or do you plan to manage other investors’ rentals as well? The financial investment into holding that license is something to consider as well. So, give this episode a listen and see if a real estate license will benefit your rental property business or not. 👉 Course Waitlist: From Marketing to Move In, Place Your Ideal Tenant https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2143553/open_sms One way text only, you need to include your email for a response. 👉 Email us your questions!

2025 is coming in hot! And we are here to talk about why you should NOT be waiting for the new year to focus on your business plans. This week on the podcast we are talking about planning and strategy. Not only for the next coming year, but for many years out. We discuss those aspects but will go beyond the focus of financial evaluations and make you think about your business as a whole and what part you play in it. What do you like best about owning rentals and what makes you cringe when you have to handle it? How much do you want to scale and how quickly do you want to add more rental properties to your portfolio? When do you plan to step back from hands on management? Property improvements, the value of time, as well as planning for financial growth now and in the future, are all discussed in this episode.

| 02 Dec 2024 | Deck and Balcony Law Update | 00:17:02 | |
This week on the podcast, we are doing a shorty episode as an update to a previous episode (#44) on the Deck and Balcony Law, SB721, for California. There have been some significant changes in the dates and inspection specifications. Now before you click away and say that this law doesn’t pertain to you, take a minute to listen and learn what California is doing to protect tenants and condominium owners when it comes to the safety of their decks and balconies. FYI, Florida has already passed a similar law. Many states have a law like this on the books and are just working out the details so this might just affect your rental property sooner rather than later.

This episode is all about How We Did It, when we renovated 2 out of state units in Idaho, traveling to the units twice, for 4 days each. We are discussing the condition of the units (one was in bad shape and one not so bad) and the work performed by ourselves and those we hired. As we did not have a team in Idaho, we also talked about how we quickly were able to put one together. For the first time, we painted kitchen cabinets, using Beyond Paint Products. So, listen to the process we followed and how they turned out. In addition to the kitchen cabinets, we or those we hired painted these units, installed new lighting, replaced old and dirty plugs and switches with decora style ones, replaced the old yucky carpet with LVP, and replaced Formica kitchen countertops with Quartz counters we purchased for a steal. Communication, organization, and time management were all key elements to pulling this renovation off and we are here to share how it all worked out!

| 30 Dec 2024 | Stepping Back, Looking Ahead | 00:10:54 | |
We have done some soul searching for the last several months and through that reflection, we have found that we are very overwhelmed. So much so that we have stopped doing the things that we love and have become, well, workaholics. If we are not working on Your Landlord Resource, we are working on one of the investment properties. If not either of those, we are playing catch up to chores around the house. We have been good about spending time with our kids and our parents as often as we can, but there is so much more we want to do. We just need more time to do those things. So, in this episode we are talking about our need to step back from this podcast. To catch up on some much needed us time, maintenance to OUR home, and reset our time management. This is not goodbye, this is simply “see you soon”.
