 The early years of being a landlord comes with its fair share of unexpected twists and turns - from bad tenants who miss rent payments to poor upkeep resulting in missed income opportunities. But, nobody understands the struggles of the landlord life better than landlords themselves. We talked to 5 different landlords about their renting experiences and collected some super helpful and unique landlord advice!

### 1. Think of Your Rental Property as a Business, Not Your Home

**Name**: Kim Grennan

**Location**: Phoenix, AZ

**How long have you been a landlord?** 3 years

 One of the hardest things to do as a landlord was learning to disassociate yourself from thinking about your rental property as being a “home” and instead thinking of it as a business. For me, this was because most of the properties that I rented out were my primary residence at one point, so I still had the “warm and fuzzies” about the property and memories of it being our home. Often times when I would go into these rental properties I would find myself upset about stains on the carpet or the cleanliness of the home when in reality, it’s part of the show and dance of being a landlord! If you go in with this mindset it is easier to treat your asset as a business and make more sound decisions based on the numbers, no other strings attached.

 Another thing that is hard to combat is the economy; it has always been one of the scariest parts of being a landlord to me. You never know what will happen if the economy takes a hit and how that might impact your tenants and your cash flow. We made it a point to always save 15% of our topline rents in a separate account on a monthly basis to cover our bases if there was an unexpected tank in the stock market, regulatory changes, or extremely high unemployment rates. 

 But now that I know about [Steady](https://www.steadymarketplace.com/), we use their rent default insurance so that we can sleep easy at night and know for certain we’re guaranteed to receive our monthly rent from tenants. I suggest getting rent default insurance to ALL landlords that I know! 

### 2. Stay Consistent with Maintenance!

 Like most of us, I prefer to keep my rentals in good, clean condition; essentially handling all property management, and this works for me for the following reasons:

1. If maintenance is kept up-to-date, then you are not getting constant phone calls from tenants about this or that not working.  Also, it is easier to keep track of the damage caused by the tenant if it was in good condition upon move-in. Additionally, if the property is in good condition, then the tenants will most likely stay longer. Turnover between tenants is work, so it is best if tenants stay for a longer-term.
2. If your rentals are clean and maintained, you can charge higher rent, because you will outshine the other “gross” ones.
3. When there is availability, you will likely get multiple interested parties and therefore will have a larger pool of candidates to select from.

### 3. Communication is the Key to Success

 Communication is probably the single most important part of being a successful and fair landlord. Communication comes in all sorts of forms. It starts with the interview process — making sure the landlord understands the tenant’s needs and the tenant completely understands the landlord’s rules. 

 It’s helpful to use state-recognized landlord forms such as rental agreements and applications. Then, it’s imperative to stick to it. It is very difficult as the landlord will often allow himself/herself to get caught up in the emotional aspect of the tenant’s situations. The landlord must do his/her very best to follow the guidelines of the state created forms and explain this idea from the very beginning.  

 Examples of proper communication:

- Move-in inspection report
- Semi-annual unit inspections
- Place all separate agreements in writing with signatures
- Provide easy contact information so that I can be reached

### 4. Always Screen Your Tenants Thoroughly

**Name**: James Sauve

**Location**: Red Bluff, California 

**How long have you been a landlord?** 18 years

 My wife and I have been landlords for about 18 years. We own a duplex, as well as a double-wide mobile home that we rent out. So, 3 total units. I think the most important thing that we have learned is doing our due diligence when it comes to vetting potential tenants. 

 It’s important to remember that prior to signing a rental agreement that these are your properties and rushing to get someone or multiple persons into your units can be a mistake. Having potential tenants fill out an application is acutely important. But, just as important is following through and checking credit, calling and asking pertinent questions of references, examining past rental history, employment, etc. 

 Additionally, be sure to meet with all potential tenants and trust your instincts. I'm not suggesting that you discriminate against anyone, but it's also important that potential tenants check all your boxes.

### 5. Market Your Property

**Name**: Bill Groom

**Location**: Red Bluff, CA

**How long have you been a landlord?** 17 years

 Knowing how to advertise/list the property for potential renters and how to properly screen possible renters is the best advice I can give. Back when I started, there was no Zillow or Craigslist. To let people know the property was available, I put a “For Rent” sign out and advertised in the local paper. 

 Obviously, today it is a lot easier to reach potential renters and landlords should take advantage of the resources available. For example, utilize social media platforms. You can post for free and choose to boost posts to appeal to a wider audience for low costs. Additionally, platforms like Zillow offer your first listing for free and syndicated listings on other platforms. 

### Be Proactive with Steady

 If there’s one thing that shines through all of these pieces of landlord advice, it’s that being a landlord isn’t a walk in the park. It takes a lot of time, effort, and learning as you go! And regardless of how much you educate yourself ahead of time, one of the harsh realities of renting is that sometimes tenants default on rent. That’s why you need rent default insurance with Steady (like Kim mentioned!). 

[Steady](https://www.steadymarketplace.com/) offers rent default insurance that allows you to protect your income when a tenant is unable to pay rent. Their customizable plans can cover lost rental income for 1.5 to six months, no matter how many properties you have (and deductible-free too).
