The Features Tenants Want Most in a Rental
Your Landlord Resource Podcast
09/23/24 • 48 min
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.

Landlord Talk: An Interview With Dan Borrero
Your Landlord Resource Podcast
07/01/24 • 59 min
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.

The Pros and Cons of Renting to Pet Owners
Your Landlord Resource Podcast
08/14/23 • 22 min
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.

The Importance of Rental Property Inspections
Your Landlord Resource Podcast
04/10/23 • 28 min
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.

Part 1, Rental Property Fire Safety Essentials
Your Landlord Resource Podcast
10/02/23 • 27 min
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!

Part 2, Rental Property Fire Safety Essentials
Your Landlord Resource Podcast
10/09/23 • 28 min
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. Limits damage to your unit too!
👉 Our Periodic Inspection Checklist. $5 gets you a 6-page checklist that covers up to a 4 bedroom, 4 bath rental property. Includes space to note if all is well or if an item needs attention. It’s very comprehensive and covers all areas of the home inside and out. Download once and use it over and over!
