This Is Your Fault!

This is gold to anyone starting down the path of owning rental property. Every bad lease will cost you 5k to 10k. Screening tenants was our weakness. Take this to heart and don’t let it be you.

[@fionasmom6254]

I have never understood how people actually make money on rentals because I have heard one horror story after another about all the damage tenants do and how they get behind on rent. Even a good friend who was DILIGENT about checking references and credit history got burned. A relative recently had to evict a non-paying tenant and the tenant set the house on fire as revenge. She thought she should be living there for FREE, dammit!

[@raccuia1]

When you are a landlord you must ALWAYS be at arms length from the tenants. That means you NEVER be their friend. You can be pleasant and say hi and bye but NEVER stand around having conversations with them or go inside for a coffee. Rent must be up to date ALWAYS and the regular inspections must show a well presented house. They must also not cause disturbance. The minute they deviate from that is the minute you comply with whatever laws are in your area to evict them. I say this a 6 year full time student in real estate at college and university with high marks, a 40 year real estate agency career (owned my business), an investor and developer of real estate.

I rented to my niece and her family several months before Christmas. After the 1st month, she told me her husband left her and she didn't have the rent money. She promised to pay the back rent after she got her income tax refund. We sent our handyman out to repair a leaky pipe and he told us that her husband was there and they were cooking steaks. I confronted her and she said he had just come back and that they would have the money soon. Several months passed and she still didn't pay. I had to ask her to leave and after she moved I discovered that she hadn't paid the water and sewer bill. Since the water and sewer is provided by the town, I was responsible for paying that. She has totally ghosted me and I have not heard from her for years. I have never rented to relatives again!

Remember, he said he didn’t want to do this but his wife assured him this is his wife’s fault and or yes his fault for not being the man of the house and putting his foot down and saying no I know exactly what will happen

Woah! An inspection every month or two? That's excessive!

[@bryandelcid4065]

Man I would not tolerate a landlord like Dave. Dude don’t be checking up on me like that, what am I your kid? Being a landlord doesn’t mean you can go in there and check every 1 or 2 months. You can beat it.

[@r.rodriguez4991]

This is such a ridiculous response. In particular the part about just letting it go. If you let dumb, awful people get away with their awful behavior then you're just contributing to it. People like these two girls need consequences in their life. Whether those are relational, legal, etc, they need to experience how your actions catch up to and affect you. These two are suffering from a lack of life lessons. John's right that you don't want to do it out of retribution but to push back and be firm in reaction to this behavior is actually loving. It shows them, whether they accept it or not, that you don't treat people like that.

I wouldn’t get them Christmas gifts though. And that’s ok.

6:31 “they’re still living rent free they’ve just moved from your house to your head” 😂

Damn Dave. You’re tough on your rental property but you’re successful. I learned something today

[@sallylarson882]

Come on Dave, I don’t think he knew that they were going to go in and crash the place as family members. This is not his fault.

[@jimroscovius]

NEVER rent to family!!

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

Okay, now I think Dave's partly right to blame the owner for letting the sisters rent the place, but to say it's not the sisters' fault? Looks like another case of family members taking advantage of another family member's generosity. Dang, you'd think the sisters would at least do right by their sister, the wife/co-owner of the property. Sickening how family treats family sometimes.
