316: Rookie Reply: Put THIS in Your Lease Agreement (So Tenants Don’t Break It!)
2023-08-26
Your tenant is breaking their landlord tenant lease agreement. What now? Do you go after the money or eat the loss? Depending on the amount, it may not even be worth the trouble. Either way, perhaps the more important question to ask is, “How can I prevent this from ever happening again?”
Welcome back to another Rookie Reply! Broken leases are a pain to deal with, but in this episode, Ashley and Tony offer up the “magic words” that could save you the headache. They also talk about partnerships and make the case for getting pre-approved separately. Rookie investors often feel like fish out of water when it comes to networking. Fortunately, our hosts have several helpful tips on how to bring real value to the table. They also go over property management fees and how to vet a property manager before hiring them. Finally, they discuss tax strategy versus tax preparation and why waiting until tax season to hire a CPA is the wrong move!
