lol he’s a slum lord

What if it's not going in and it's to tight about half way in?

With respect to credit reports, there are many missed opportunities landlords overlook when evaluating a credit report. For example, the report will show their current address as well as previous addresses. Now, google these addresses to be sure they don’t come up as an apartment community or management company. If the do, you now have contact information to send your landlord verification form to. Next, cross reference the last names of these property owners with any aliases that show up on the credit report (such as a maiden name, etc). Also, run criminal history reports on those aliases as well. Now, I know for a fact that those newer “application processing companies “ such as Apollo, Tenant Cloud, and Rent Prep, etc. do NOT go through this thorough of a process. That’s why most small landlords (who don’t come from the side of the industry where I come from) end up with many undesirable tenants, who probably got declined at a large apartment community (like where I come from). Next, it’s best to use the wording “animals” instead of pets. For example, an emotional support dog or a seeing eye dog is NOT legally a “pet” and therefore (especially on the rental application, which is a legal document) , they’re not technically lying when they say no to this (even though they actually have an emotional support dog for example). Therefore, instead-always ask “will there be any ANIMALS living with you in the unit?” Just as a side note, I don’t own rental property. Instead. I come from decades of working at the large national and statewide Property Management organizations, where training is paramount with their leasing agents and Management staff. Most KZbin content creators are primarily small landlords giving advice to other small landlords, which from the standpoint of where I come from-is kinda like the blind leading the blind. I teach the small mom and pop landlord all the business practices that are universally embraced at the large organization side of the industry. To better explain this…I use the analogy of the car sales industry. If we were to equate our business to the automobile sales industry-think of it like this…. When purchasing a car, there are THREE primary ways to do so. There’s the guy that put his car in the driveway and puts the “for sale “ sign on it, places the Craigslist ad and puts the ad in the newspaper. Then there’s the “Bob’s Auto Sales” -the small local dealership… That said, most KZbin content creators are a landlord that would be equivalent to one of these levels. Now, to keep with this analogy, I’ve never put my car in the driveway to sell it , nor have I ever owned my own private small dealership. Instead, I come from decades of working at the “Toyota or Chrysler” dealerships (as an analogy-not literally) . My courses teach the “Bobs Auto Sales” (small property management company) and the guy who puts his car in the driveway to sell it(the small 8 unit apartment owner) all the business practices that we teach our staff at Toyota and Chrysler (the large National Property Management firms). I hope that analogy makes sense. Check out my website Jppropertyconsulting.com

a tool that I use does not let me see their ss number. how do I collect it and how do I verify it? do they need to send me a copy? thanks

What does the move in fee include? What does it say it includes in the lease?

THE Best and most concise video on getting a unit rented!!! I hung on your every word and will be taking all of your advice! As a smaller landlord who operates as a 1 man show, everything that comes with a major renovation (mishaps, delays, unfit contractors, etc.) and then finally getting it ready to rent to a new tenant can be super stressful and cumbersome!! In the blur of all the stress with all of the updated changes in the rental world, this helps give me some direction. Thank you!!!

Ive replaced 2 of brand new cartriges and this thing is still leakig! Why??

Hello Kenton, As the first time homebuyer, I want to buy a four Plex but my question is how do I lower my interest rate?

Found your presentation very informative and we are also in discussion for WallCall . This is definitely a game-changer for our communities.

Hi Kenton: I needed your influence badly. Your video helped me overcome the usual plumbing fear and since my plumber was too busy for what I found out was a very small and quite easy task… after watching your video I said “I can do that!” And I did. Nice step by step process…!!

What about FHA loans?

Hi Kenton, If I have any back taxes, can I still quit claim a property to someone? In your video, you mentioned needing to pay any back water bills. I didn't know if that also held true for back taxes.

This apartment is available for 09/01/24 move in.

I learned so much! Thank you Kenton.

Good info. Thanks.

MY REIA gives 2 percent off

Hi Kenton, great review! Just wondering, now 3 years later, if you are still happy with TenantCloud?

Thank you for posting this excellent tutorial video. I never replaced faucet cartridges before and your video was so well done that even a newbie like me could do it perfectly first time around. Keep it up 👍🏻

Does this apply with a "conventional" loan? How can I tell that my loan was serviced by Freddie/Fannie?

Valuable information! This was 2 years ago. Thank you

Interesting information! Thanks

Thanks for the informative video, as I'am getting ready to change mine.

Hello Kenton, just found your channel - very good content. One question, I currently own 7 units and looking for the best way to structure my business. Would you still recommend Tenant Cloud & Quick books if you were starting today ? Thanks a lot!

Most of the leads you receive from zillow and its affiliation, are fake leads. In order to convince you that their site works, they have people on the staff working to send you fake leads. The number to contact the lead will always belong to someone else, and the emails provided by zillow for "leads" are also made up, never respond to your invitation your invitation to set up schedule to come and see the property. I have been on property management for 36 years...

I followed the instructions.It work for a month and now I’m having the same problem a month later. Any reasons for that ?

Is the orange twist nut you chose to use made out of plastic? if so, isn't that a fire hazard? the white twist nuts are ceramic. I would have tested the igniter first, just in case. I understand you rational about perhaps being at it's half life, but it could last for a long time. I appreciate the effort you put into this video and the detail explanation, helpful!

Thank you for sharing this information. Bought a home 4 years ago and now we’re moving so need as much info as how to find good tenants etc. Currently on the first stage of decluttering home to take photos and list on Zillow.

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for the video. One comment regarding removing the handle. After trying quite a while to find an allen wrench that fit I was eventually lucky enough to have the handle come off and found that there was no allen screw...it was a standard flat head screw. I imagine this is due to the unit being fairly old.

Thank you. You are so thorough!

💯

Thank you so much for this information! Great advice :)

Excellent video. Thanks.

March 2024. Do you still use TenantCloud? I've been using it for a couple of years and it has gone down hill. They put out an update about a year ago that makes the dashboard useless.

Better check for any leakage before putting all the trim on.... I've had brand new balancing spools & cartridges damaged and they leaked. Also I've had the cartridge leak if it wasn't tightened "evenly" or if it was overtightened / under tightened.

Thanknu

Thanks so much Kenton knows that was awesome

Thank you!

Any thoughts on a prospective tenant with a low credit score and DTI at 48%? Should I have a guarantor?

Do you tell the mortgage company? And do you make the payments to the mortgage after QCD or does your LLC?

Great video. I've replaced both parts but there is a slow drip from what looks like the pressure balancing valve when i turn the shower back on. Is there a workaround for this?

Can you provide the verbiage written or a google doc with these additions?

Hi, I'm just a bit confused because you are still short $6k after the cash out refinance, right?? I may be missing something. Please explain

would there be a way I can identify the part number for the Pressure Balance Unit or cartridge for my shower? and are the both parts pretty much universal for most the american standard shower faucet in that style like in the video?

What do you do if it still Drips?

As more and more areas become "squatter friendly" there should be a way to hide the exact street address on any ads. Scammers look for ads with exact street addresses as well.

thank you kenton,great info! just found your site,have subscribed!

I noticed how you make sure you hold your tongue right.

And if they don't care about them?
