Hey friends! This week, we are excited to welcome our friend (and MTR student success story) Virginia Wall Bubar to the show! Virginia is a member of our Facebook Community and one of our student success stories from our MTR course.Virginia currently lives in the Atlanta area with her husband (a pastor) and their three children, whom Virginia homeschools. In 2014, they bought a house with the intention to flip part of it and turn it into a rental space and while they may have taken their time to get it rented, they did what worked for them, and that has definitely worked in their favor. The one unique challenge that Virginia and her family have when it comes to buying real estate is buying properties on only one income, but they are excellent at making it happen.Virginia’s first memory of the rental property space came from her childhood when she thinks back to the time her family lived in the Bay Area and wanted to move to Florida so her parents were preparing the rental property they had in CA for sale. They were talking about how much of a headache being landlords had become and Virginia found her curiosity piqued; why were they buying another house then? Why were they so specific in the cities they were looking at living in once they moved to Florida? Her curiosity carried into adulthood and she knew this would be a space she could make a living in.A few takeaways from Virginia:Decide what you want and go for itFigure out what your hesitation is and try to attack itDon’t live in fear; move past itBe willing to make mistakes, learn from them, and keep goingIf you want to see what’s next for Virginia, head on over and follow her on Instagram!Finally, registration for our Midterm Rental Bootcamp is NOW OPEN and starts on October 30 so secure your seat now!That’s all for this week. We’ll see you next time, friends!   Resources:Double your rental income with our Midterm Rental BootcampConnect with Virginia on InstagramListen to Katie Newman’s episode WIIRE 64Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on InstagramBe the first to know when registration opens for our next retreat

Hello everyone. This week we’re sharing with you our best tips for managing midterm rental turnovers. We will be covering exactly how we know a turnover is coming up, our favorite ways to keep tabs on the turnover process, and some of the things we’ve learned to do better when managing our MTR turnovers.Hospitable is our favorite resource for all of the must-do’s we capture in this episode. We set up alerts to go to both ourselves as well as our cleaner to notify each of us of an upcoming move-out and it contains a detailed list of reminders of ‘what needs to be done’ upon tenant move-out.While this particular topic may not seem all that interesting, remember that you can lose a lot of money on turnovers if they’re not done right. This can be the case whether you have a property manager or cleaner handle the move-out process for you, or if you take it on yourself, so make sure your process for midterm rental tenant move-outs is spick-and-span so no stone is left unturned.What are some things you include in your move-out process, or what have you added to your process, that you hadn’t thought of before? DM us on Instagram and let us know!Until next week, take care friends!   Resources:Use Hospitable for your REI bizCheckout TenantCloudCheckout Episode 34 for a full list of tools we recommend for MTRsBe the first to know when registration opens for our next retreatLeave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private WIIRE Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram
