Few Landlords Prepared for Time Demands or Impact on Family

Landlords Have No Friends

  • Tenants- No – Most Relationships One Sided – Terrible
  • Tax People – No – Can’t Wait to Get Profits from Sale
  • Governments – No– More and More Regs – Federal, State, Local
  • The Press -No – Portray Landlords as Villains
  • Relatives – No – Few Like Time and Effort Necessary (See Tax People)

Success is based primarily on Equity Creation – Appreciation and Loan Decline – Not Income Generation.

Common Issues:

  • High Renter Turnover Rates– Very Costly
  • Late Rent Payments– Chasing Tenants
  • Staying Organized– Can Cause Stress and Legal Problems
  • Frequent Evictions– An eviction is a stressful and costly process.
  • Relationships with Family and Heirs – Low Interest in Continuing
  • Excessive Stress Over Property Management Responsibilities

PROBLEMS ARE OPPORTUNITIES IN DISGUISE
