Episode notes
Stress, Not Money, Drives Landlords Out
- Most landlords quit because of stress, not money.
- Late-night calls and endless paperwork drive investors away from rentals.
Begin SOPs On Day One
- Start SOPs from your first property by writing down listing, photos, and screening steps.
- Even simple checklists prevent forgetting processes years later.
Use A PM System Immediately
- Use a property management (PM) system from day one to set hours and track maintenance.
- A $15/month PM app can stop midnight texts and automate rent and requests.
