I built a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment over my mom’s house so we could take care of her. Unfortunately, she passed away only 2 years later. We couldn’t afford the entire house expenses, so we rented upstairs to neighbors who had to move out of their rented house because it was being sold. These two lovely ladies lived upstairs for almost 29 years! One passed away at 97 and the older one at 101.5 years! I was lucky to have great tenants! Always make sure to have a lease!

It’s a wonderful thing to get great renters. My father rented a house to some retired nuns. They were excellent renters except they were always trying to save money on electric so they used a lot of candles, which made him nervous

Sorry to hear your mother passed away but was so glad you were able to rent to those two sisters. They both lived to ripe old ages. Believe me, you were fortunate to get those two ladies to rent from you. Nowadays it is very hard to get good renters. Many of them think you owe them a place to stay free of charge. And then, on top of not paying you their rent, when they move they tear the place apart! Now on top of not getting any rent you have to spend thousands to get the place fixed up again! My brother and I inherited a mobile home park with 22 trailers and a few trailer spaces for rent. You have to have a good lease which you can get worded by a lawyer in your county. They are up on all the lease laws. Give the renter a copy and you can keep a copy for your records. Be very careful whom you lease to. You can usually tell a decent person just by their car and their cleanliness. Also, if you fix the rental property up nicely and get the rent up there, you will weed out certain renters. Also, always call the people that they have as references and call some other rental property owners nearby and ask if they have rented to them and if they paid their rent in a timely manner. Also, be sure to ask if they left the property in good condition. If you get a bad report leave them alone! Good luck on the rental business. There are a few good renters still out there!

Always do a contract Always get copy of driver's license are copy of SS card Always Rent by the week not by the Month Always get Deposit to cover 2 months Rent incase they tear anything up are fail to pay Rent before you can take them to Majestrate Court that way they have to be out in 7 Day's if you Rent by the Month they will get two months free Rent Always get phone numbers Always Do a walk through every 3 months to make sure they're taking care of your house. In contract that they have to report it immediately if there is any Electrical are plumbing problems and no changes to the home.IF YOU DON'T DO THIS I PROMISE YOU,YOU WILL BE SORRY & have it in contract they have to mowe grass @ least every two weeks and have Trash picked up weekly and no junk vehickles are old tires on premises

It’s a cute little house. I bought one a few years ago for 24,000. Huge lot. Huge detached garage. Good bones. No termites. I fixed it and rented it for 3 years. 3 sets of Terrible renters. (I tried to always give them a clean cute place to live. But none of them appreciated it. ). Then after 4 years and fixing it up 3 times. I sold it for 70,000$ I have a different rental property now, in a better economic area. And have only had two rentors in 10 years. All u can do is try. Just remember. Business is business. Rent it thru Zelle. It’s free for you but they run a background check on all adults ( proposed renter pays for the background check). Zelle has the contract for them to sign. Keep on top of your property. If they have to mow and keep yard then drive by and make sure they are. If not. You do it and charge them. Know how to evict them before you rent. Make sure they understand that no one else except approved renters can stay I. The house more than 2 weeks. No subletting. Business! No feeling sorry for them and letting them stay. Be a marine about it.

After mowing, leaf blow the roof/gutters (inspect the roof for leaks), trash removal, edge/mow again, pressure wash, seal up the openings, purge the garage of junk. Then you have a staging place for stuff coming out of the house as you sort and move forward. Fence mending may help with keeping the critters from getting too nosey inside the fenced area. Might consider spraying the whole yard with some permethrin to knock down the insects a bit. M'be test the soil to see what amendments are needed to help the growth of the lawn. Nice little house, corner lot sure is a bonus too.

I grew up being the cleaning crew for my parents on their rentals. My dad started buying properties in depressed areas, fixed them up and rented them out. He stopped buying new rentals in the early 80s, and recently sold all but 1 - 7 unit property. I managed his properties for him off and on for the last 30 years (I am 65, Dad just turned 88). I also have been in the mortgage business since 1982. My advice is to determine what your requirements are, for Income to debt ratio, credit standards and your deposit/security, and rent and STICK to it. My Dad was always conscious of the renters financial situation. He never wanted to put a tenant in a position that they had to choose between rent and food. In the times that he deviated from his standards, he ALWAYS got burned! We are in CA and the Tenant actually has more rights than the landlord nowadays, so we were very careful about keeping to the standards. For my folks it wasn’t about getting rich, but rather providing income for themselves in their retirement. Out of 14 units, he had tenants that lived in the properties a minimum of 5 years. He kept rents fair and had loyal tenants.

I had my home rented for over 30 years, but people don’t take care of your home! I’ve had people rent, tear down walls, shoot holes in ceilings, or pets in the house when their contractor simply stated NO PETS, and the smell would be so bad! All in all, I’ve had to have the whole inside redone 3 times! Most of the time, their rent was late, even though all of their info was thoroughly researched! So as to rental properties, I’m so glad to have been able to sell my property! No more worries or tenants! I even had a property manager! All they’re interested in is getting their commission!

You can use the weed eater over the terribly overgrown areas prior to the mower. You can see if there is debris that needs to be picked up so you won’t damage the mower. Helps a lot when it is think like you have it right now. Looks like great potential for income.

Make sure you have insurance on the home. Tenants also must have insurance that can be verified at anytime.Put in the lease home inspections at least 4 x year. When creating your lease Tenants are responsible for any broken window and door damage. Utilities must be maintained at all times if not lease is terminated. When tenant rents always take detailed pictures before every tenant. Also after . They can't change locks . Not responsible for light bulb replacement. So many things to consider when creating a lease.

You are correct, it's all about the rental contract and the INSPECTIONS. Renters can do alot of damage real quick, don't ignore your investment for long periods of time just because there's someone living there. The nicer the place, the higher the price, the better the clientel. You can be as picky as you want in your contract, it will just bring renters that don't mind because they live clean and responsibly. Know your states Landlord Tenant Laws inside & out! Get to know your tenants, care about them and be good to them and they will be good to you (a high percentage of the time). Dont let the nightmare stories detour you and remember; it is a business, treat it like one. It can be a very positive experience. Big thing is to follow your rental agreement to a "T" and don't just wing it with renters. Best of luck to you!
