Episode notes
Horror Story That Teaches Caution
- Chad Carson recounts renting to a tenant who stopped paying and caused thousands in repairs after eviction.
- He uses that story to stress that proper preparation and screening prevent most landlord nightmares.
Assess Fit And Keep Reserves
- Ask whether you're temperamentally suited to be a landlord and if the house is simple and low-maintenance.
- Keep cash reserves (Chad recommends about $5,000) before renting to cover emergencies.
Price Based On Market, Not Expenses
- Research market rent using free tools (BiggerPockets, Zillow) or paid reports and ask local property managers for accuracy.
- Price slightly below market to attract more qualified applicants and pick the best tenant.
