Stacie (00:00):
As we approach our hundredth episode and that

(00:02):
20,000 download mark, we thoughtmaybe it would be a good idea to
talk about our top fivedownloaded podcasts that you
listeners love most.
A few of them I can totally see.
One or two kind of surprised me.

Kevin (00:18):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to reflecting back on those
episodes that resonated mostwith our landlord community.
So are you ready to take a tripdown memory lane?

Stacie (00:28):
Yeah, for sure.
Let's do this.
Welcome to your landlordresource podcast many moons ago.
When I started as a landlord, Iwas as green as it gets.
I may have had my real estatelicense, but I lack confidence
in the hands on experienceneeded when it came to dealing
with tenants, leases,maintenance, and bookkeeping.

(00:50):
After many failed attempts, fastforward to today.
Kevin and I have doubled ourdoors and created an organized,
professionally operated rentalproperty business.
Want to go from overwhelmed toconfident?
If you're an ambitious landlordor maybe one in the making, join
us as we provide strategies andteach actionable steps to help
you reach your goals and thelifestyle you desire.

(01:12):
All while building a streamlinedand profitable rental property
business.
This is Your Landlord Resourcepodcast.
Hey there, landlords, and thank you so much for
listening to the Your LandlordResource Podcast.
I am your host, Stacie Casella,and I'm here with my co host,
Kevin Kilroy.

Kevin (01:33):
Hello there, everybody.
Just coming on here today, andwe're going to keep this episode
short and sweet because we'recrazy busy and we realize all
you guys are too.

Stacie (01:45):
All right, you guys so we are getting close to our
hundredth episode and quitefrankly I'm surprised at how
quickly the time went.
If you would have told me in2021 when we started Your
Landlord Resource that we wouldhave a weekly podcast that is
now nearing 20,000 downloads.

(02:06):
I would have laughed in yourface and told you to take a
hike.

Kevin (02:10):
Well, the funny thing is we started out on Instagram and
we posted a few tips here andthere.
And we know that people want towatch videos or listen to us
talk about those tips but to behonest Instagram isn't really
the best place to do all that.
And if we're really beinghonest, we don't prefer live
content on Facebook.

(02:31):
We know that's what people wantand we're working up to it.
But for now this podcast, wherewe can wear our sweats and
record anytime, day or night,just so long as it's done and
ready by Monday morning, that'swhat we offer.

Stacie (02:46):
Yeah, I mean, live videos have to be planned out,
and if I'm being honest, life isso damn crazy right now that
scheduling live content is justtoo overwhelming to handle.
And we love you all, and we'rehere for you, and we want to
answer all your questions andsuch, but talking live is way
too nerve wracking for me.

(03:07):
So with that said, as weapproach our hundredth episode
and that 20,000 download mark,we thought maybe it would be a
good idea to talk about our topfive downloaded podcasts that
you listeners love most.
A few of them I can totally see.
One or two kind of surprised me.

Kevin (03:27):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to reflecting back on those
episodes that resonated mostwith our landlord community.
So are you ready to take a tripdown memory lane?

Stacie (03:37):
Yeah, for sure.
Let's do this.
All right, coming in at numberfive is episode six, Creating
Standard Operating Proceduresfor Your Business.
Which to me says that landlordsare really taking owning rental
property seriously and lookingat ways to streamline their
business so that they can one,run their operations more

(04:00):
consistently and professionally.
And two, be prepared shouldsomeone else need to step in and
run it for them just in casethere's an emergency.
In this episode we coveredeverything from tenant screening
to maintenance processes andeven end of year financial
reviews.
Having those systems in placemakes life so much easier for

(04:22):
self managing landlords.
Think of the tasks that youcomplete for your business.
You have a way of doing thingsthat work best for you and for
the properties that you own.
Is there someone else who knowshow to do what you do day in and
day out?
Because life happens, accidentsand illnesses can take a person
out for long periods of time.

(04:44):
Much like a will or a livingtrust that you create to
designate what others are to dowith your assets if you pass
away, standard operatingprocedures are those for your
business.
Standard operating procedures isyour handbook or operation
manual.
Your step by step and how toguide that describes how you, or

(05:05):
someone else, should becompleting tasks associated with
your business.
We go over some steps fromMichael Gerber's book, the E
Myth Revisited, where hediscussed innovation and how you
can learn from others the bestway to do something and
implement it into your businessmodel.

Kevin (05:24):
Yeah, I remember that.
And I, I think that one, wediscussed fast food restaurants
and how one model was developedand then they copied that model
and sold them as franchises.
Now it's not necessarily thatcut and dried with rental
properties because everyone hasdifferent goals they want to
achieve.
The bottom line is that the morepolicies and procedures you can

(05:47):
create and follow, the easier itis to grow your business.

Stacie (05:51):
Yeah, it's a rinse and repeat kind of thing.

Kevin (05:54):
Exactly.
So you can listen to our episodeon creating standard operating
procedures by going toyourlandlordresource.
com episode 6.
We will link all the episodes inthe show notes as well.
Okay.
Number four of the most popularpodcasts of ours is episode 46,

(06:16):
which is Advanced Tax StrategiesFor Your Real Estate Portfolio.
Now this one was actually thesecond of a two part series and
part one did land in the top 10of our podcast episodes.
So maybe give that one, which isepisode 45 a listen first and
then move on to episode 46.

(06:38):
Anyway, as you all know, taxesare often a landlord's biggest
expense.
So in this episode, we sharedstrategies like depreciation,
cost segregation, and doing a1031 exchange.
Where in episode 45, we talkedabout basic tax strategies, in
this episode we dug a littledeeper and discussed more

(07:00):
advanced tax strategies thattake a little time to consider
and put in place.
Like the tax benefits of holdingyour rentals in a legal entity,
creating ways to use funds youalready have to buy rental
properties tax free or taxdeferred, the ins and outs of
cost segregation, and how, ifyou qualify as a real estate

(07:24):
professional, you should.
And you guys we're not justtossing out info to say you
should, we are telling you whythey are important to your
growth as a real estate investorand how to implement these tax
advantages to scale yourportfolio of rental properties.

Stacie (07:41):
Yeah, that episode was packed with ways to keep money
in your pocket.
And you can give it a listen atyourlandlordresource.
com episode 46 or click the linkin our show notes.
All right.
Coming in at number three of ourtop five podcast is episode 16
called Is Holding Your RentalProperty in an LLC Right For

(08:04):
You.
Now, in this episode, we talkedall about the benefits and
challenges of LLC ownership.
Things like liabilityprotection, potential tax
implications, and theadministrative requirements.
You guys, it's a big decisionand we did our best to provide a
balanced perspective.

(08:25):
Our goal was to help landlordsfeel confident about what works
best for their specificsituation.
This episode is packed with alot of technical information.
So when you listen, try to be ina space where you can focus on
what we're saying.
We cover everything we knowabout creating and operating an
LLC.

(08:46):
There are a lot of pros and consincluded in this episode and we
give you a list of points toconsider when thinking about
whether an LLC is a good ideafor you to hold your rental
property investments in.
From what goes into the creationand maintenance of an LLC to the
location of that LLC when youown out of state property, as

(09:08):
well as how an LLC can evenbenefit your heirs.
We really did try to discuss allthe points that one would need
to know before making thedecision.

Kevin (09:19):
Yeah, and we hope this, as with all our episodes, gives
you something to think aboutwhen creating a professional and
streamlined rental propertybusiness.
You can give that episode alisten at yourlandlordresource.
com episode 16 or click the linkin our show notes.
Okay, getting down there now.

(09:41):
And it's no surprise that numbertwo of our most listened podcast
is the follow up episode to theone you just talked about.
So episode 56, How and When toTransfer Your Rental Property
Into an LLC, came about becausewe had a lot of requests asking
us to talk about the actualprocess of transferring your

(10:01):
rental property into an LLC.
It may seem like a very cut anddried concept, and for the most
part it is, but there is quite abit to know about the process
before you take the steps tomake that transfer.
Things like, will your mortgagelender allow it?
What if my rental was purchasedwith a 1031 exchange that was

(10:23):
titled to my personal name?
What forms do we need to use?
Or how will the process affectgetting loans on future
properties?
We are using personal stories ofour transfers to help you get a
clear understanding of why wedid or did not choose to
transfer our rentals into anLLC.

(10:43):
Plus, we tried our best to keepit as simple as possible so you
can have a clear understandingof what transferring your real
estate investments into an LLCentails.
And here is our disclaimer.
We are not lawyers nor CPAs.
The information that we providein our episodes is from our
personal experiences and is notto be considered as legal or tax

(11:07):
advice.
We highly recommend you consultwith your professional legal and
financial counsel beforeimplementing any advice that we
put out in this podcast.

Stacie (11:18):
Yeah, and that last episode is all about asset
protection.
You know, we discussed theprocess of transferring
properties into an LLC andhighlighted when it might be the
right move based on yourportfolio and your risk level.

Kevin (11:33):
It's such an important topic for landlords who want to
safeguard their investments.
We also had some great insightsfrom legal experts on this one,
so be sure to check it out ifyou're weighing the pros and
cons of an LLC.
You can listen by going toyourlandlordresource.
com episode 56.

Stacie (11:54):
Yep, and as with all the episodes the link is in our show
notes as well.
All right.
We are down to number one, ourmost downloaded podcast episode.

Kevin (12:05):
You know what?
I don't know why, but I thinkwe're sounding like Casey Kasem
for any of those people oldenough to remember who he was.
But sorry, go ahead.

Stacie (12:15):
We're down to number one.
And this is the one that shockedme the most.

Kevin (12:21):
Why is that?

Stacie (12:22):
Because I guess I would assume that most landlords would
have a good understanding of theexpenses that come with owning
rental properties.
No, I guess I should tell youabout the title.

Kevin (12:33):
Yeah, now that might be helpful, Stace.

Stacie (12:35):
Alright, right.
Okay, our number one podcastepisode is number 58, called The
Hidden Cost of Owning andOperating Rental Properties.
And in this episode, we brokedown those not so obvious
expenses that can creep up onrental property owners, like
turnover costs or unexpectedmaintenance, and even the time

(12:58):
that is spent managing landlordtenant relationships.
You know, one thing thateveryone needs to realize is
that how we own and operate ourrental property business may
differ from your way of doingthings.
I know crazy concept, right?
The thing is that the kind ofrental that you prefer, be it

(13:19):
single family homes or largemulti family complexes, and the
location of those, be it out ofstate or right in your backyard
and the condition of those, beit run down with a ton of added
value or with everything inplace so all you have to do is
step in and run it.

(13:40):
All that stuff makes a hugedifference on what your expenses
will be.
However, there are a bunch ofexpenses that some landlords, us
included, might forget toconsider when we are evaluating
a new property or maybe evenwhen making a change to an
existing one.
Those hidden expenses are whatthis episode is all about, so

(14:03):
give it a listen to learn whatyou might have to prepare for.
You can find it at your landlordresource.
com/episode 58 or linked in theshow notes.

Kevin (14:14):
Yeah, and I want to add we also share some actionable
tips on how to budget smarterand avoid getting blindsided.
I mean, this episode isdefinitely a must listen for
staying ahead of your expenses.

Stacie (14:27):
Yeah, well, I guess now it makes more sense as to why
it's our number one ratedpodcast.
