Not every tenant horror story ends in eviction — some end in lessons. Being a landlord isn’t just about collecting rent — it’s about making the right decisions long before a tenant moves in.

In this episode of Real Estate Explained, we sit down with Victoria from Greenway Management to talk about the real side of property management — from calling past landlords to spotting fake references (yes, even “Uncle Freddy” pretending to be one). She shares how she evaluates tenants beyond credit scores, why the “fit” between home and tenant matters, and how to avoid red flags before they cost you thousands.

We also cover DC’s changing rental market, new voucher rules, negotiation strategies like “cash for keys,” and the importance of empathy and boundaries when managing rentals.

Whether you’re a first-time landlord or growing your portfolio, this episode is full of real talk, wild stories, and practical advice that every investor needs to hear.
