In this episode, we are digging into five common oversights we see landlords make all the time (plus a few extra ones)—and trust me, they can quietly eat away at your profits if you're not careful. We’re talking about the kinds of things that seem small but lead to big issues later, like outdated leases, messy tenant files, or treating your rental like a side gig instead of the business it really is.
We’ll walk yo...
In today’s episode, we are tackling a challenge that just about every landlord is feeling right now: rising insurance costs.
We’re sharing real stories about our own rental properties, breaking down why insurance rates are climbing, and giving you practical tips on how to protect your investments without paying more than you have to.
You'll hear why it’s so important to review your policy details, especially after ...
Hey landlords! Noise complaints are one of the most common issues rental property owners will face. In this episode, Kevin and I break down how to handle noise complaints fairly, legally, and without unnecessary stress. We cover everything from setting clear noise policies to mediating disputes and protecting yourself from legal liability.
Whether it’s tenants playing loud music, children making noise, or even pets ca...

Thank you to those who have submitted questions and trust in us to answer them! We have listener questions this week that run the gambit, including:
· Who is responsible for paying to eradicate pests when the pests appear after a tenant has moved in?
· How to handle an elderly tenant who doesn’t want to move out of a potentially uninhabitable rental property that was recently inherited?
· What is ou...
We have done some soul searching for the last several months and through that reflection, we have found that we are very overwhelmed. So much so that we have stopped doing the things that we love and have become, well, workaholics.
If we are not working on Your Landlord Resource, we are working on one of the investment properties. If not either of those, we are playing catch up to chores around the house.
We have been...
Do you ever wonder what other landlords may be interested in learning? This week on the podcast we are kind of creating a little pseudo networking by discussing which episodes are landlord favorites with our top 5 podcast released.
As we approach our 100th episode and that 20,000 download mark, we thought maybe it would be a good idea to talk about what you, the listeners, loved the most.
It’s a quicker episode with a s...
Making sure your tenants are happy and satisfied “customers” while living in your rental property is of utmost importance. The benefits of creating great tenant experiences will come back to you as the property and business owner in so many ways.
In this episode we are going over different things you can do to improve the living environment for your tenants. We discuss what tenants want, what they deserve, and how by...
This episode is all about How We Did It, when we renovated 2 out of state units in Idaho, traveling to the units twice, for 4 days each.
We are discussing the condition of the units (one was in bad shape and one not so bad) and the work performed by ourselves and those we hired. As we did not have a team in Idaho, we also talked about how we quickly were able to put one together.
For the first time, we painted kitchen ...
This week on the podcast, we are doing a shorty episode as an update to a previous episode (#44) on the Deck and Balcony Law, SB721, for California. There have been some significant changes in the dates and inspection specifications.
Now before you click away and say that this law doesn’t pertain to you, take a minute to listen and learn what California is doing to protect tenants and condominium owners when it comes ...
2025 is coming in hot! And we are here to talk about why you should NOT be waiting for the new year to focus on your business plans.
This week on the podcast we are talking about planning and strategy. Not only for the next coming year, but for many years out.
We discuss those aspects but will go beyond the focus of financial evaluations and make you think about your business as a whole and what part you play in it.
Wha...
Lately, we have been getting landlords asking us if it would be a good idea for them to get their real estate license. And where we wish we could give a definitive YES or NO, we can only explain the pros and cons to getting and holding a real estate license.
This episode will give landlords pondering with the thought of getting their real estate license as much information as possible to, hopefully, help you make th...
Effective communication is key for landlords in maintaining a positive relationship with tenants and ensuring smooth rental operations.
Different situations require different communication methods, and landlords should be mindful of when and how to use each one.
There is a time and place to be casual and absolutely a time when being professional is of utmost importance.
In this episode, we are discussing the different f...
Where we do this in the Spring season, one of the best times of the year to perform these tasks is during Fall, in preparation for the winter months.
This week on the podcast, we are discussing what landlords should focus on to winterize their rental property.
We also dive deep into year-end business preparations in the office, which is something that really should not be overlooked. Budgets, analysis, planning, and ta...
We all pay someone to do work for us at some point or another. But did you know that how you classify those funds paid (code and book that payment accounting wise), can determine if you think they are a 1099 worker or a W-2 employee?
This week on Your Landlord Resource we are discussing the two rules that the Federal government and potentially your state government use to determine the difference between the two.
It’s ...
Tenant screening software is becoming more and more popular now that landlords are working to improve their applicant vetting processes.
In this episode, we will cover what tenant screening software is, why it matters, and how it compares to other options like using property management software or hiring a property manager.
We’ll also cover a couple real-life horror stories about tenant screening gone wrong and the l...
As landlords, you must balance protecting your property and tenants with complying with anti-discrimination laws. This episode explores how the Fair Housing Act intersects with tenant screening practices, focusing on HUD's 2016 guidance regarding criminal records.
We explain why a blanket “no criminal history” policy can lead to unintended discrimination, particularly under the concept of disparate impact. We als...
October 6-12, 2024, is Fire Prevention Week. Since we have many firefighters in our family who are constantly reminding us of what we need to be on top of regarding fire safety in our rental properties, we thought we would do a shorty episode to go over fire safety tips.
In this episode, we are focusing on who is responsible for what tasks. So, we are discussing all the fire safety responsibilities that the landlord ...
Yep. That’s right, this is an episode about mold. It may seem odd but, in several states, some pretty strict rules have passed regarding disclosures, cleanliness, responsibility, and remediation.
In this episode we are discussing all those things as well as what to do when a tenant reports that they have found mold in their unit.
It’s unfortunate that nearly all the research we combed through was written by lawyers wit...
Do you ever think about what you can do to draw tenants to your rental property? Like, how can you stand out from all the other properties on the market?
This week on the podcast we are talking all about what the tenants want and look for when searching for their next home.
Much like the adding value podcast we did a few weeks ago, but this is from the tenant’s perspective, not the landlords.
There are several features ...

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
