Over the past couple of weeks, we have talked about the tenant search process! We touched on searching for tenants, landlord references and thoughts on cosigners. After the vetting process is finally over, the hopes are that you ended up with a great tenant and sent out leases to be signed! But just because you have a signed lease, does not […]
Good Morning! This past week has been CRAZY up in the NYC real estate market. Media outlets and agents posting all over the place that “renters no longer have to pay realtor’s commissions”, and now just days later, we see everywhere that realtors can actually collect commission from renters! The thing is, it’s not that simple, and these headlines are a […]
Good Morning! This week we are focusing on COSIGNERS. The need for a cosigner can pop up from time to time when working in real estate or the lending industry. I recently was put in a situation where I needed to decide how I was going to handle them as a landlord so I want to talk it out with […]
Good Morning! Following up last week’s post on my review on SECURITY SYSTEMS with a REAL LIFE story on how they actually came into play the very next day. So, as we do, let’s talk Real Estate, let’s talk SECURING YOUR HOMES pt II… Last week I did an EXTENSIVE review on how RING was just not enough for me […]
Good Morning! As you all know, we started Project Philadelphia way too long ago… but the good news is IT IS FINALLY DONE (I will do a HUGE post on that SOON). However now that it is done, I am more paranoid than ever about keeping it “safe” until we fill the units. We have had a RING camera on […]
Good Morning! This week I had the privilege of watching the Willionaire Summit from my little “at home” office. This was a virtual summit hosted by real estate guru, Grant Wise. Grant interviewed 40 of the best agents in the real estate industry and asked each of them to answer one question; “What is the one thing you would teach someone […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Sending today’s LTRE later in the day this week because let’s face it… who the heck wants to read an email at 7:30 AM on New Year’s Day?! Today marks the start of a new decade and for some reason, that feels like even more pressure to hit the ground running?! While we should really always be […]
Good Afternoon! Writing today’s LTRE from up in the clouds… literally I am currently on a flight. As many of you on here know I HATE heights and that includes flying. So I’m channeling all of that energy into today’s LTRE. Ever since we moved to Philadelphia (almost a month ago) we have been pretty silent on both the blog and social […]
Good morning! So I attended my first electrical inspection this week! Let me tell you, it was an eye opener. As in, I realized that I know NOTHING about it, and I hate that. So much so, that I am considering going to take trade school classes on the matter – TBD. Anyway, I wanted to share some of the learnings for those of […]
Hey guys! Well, we officially moved out of NYC this week – CRAZY. And at the same time, we had a couple of tenants up in Binghamton who were also moving out. SO, I thought what better week to talk MOVING OUT CHECKLISTS than this one?! As a renter AND a landlord this is something I am forced to think about and […]
