Have you ever lived at a place where the neighbors knew every story about everyone who had lived in the whole community?  Have you lived in a place so long that YOU knew the history of the folks in that area?  My guest today and I discuss community memory, mindfully landlording, and how fear is a dashboard light that you may (or may not) want to heed.  Best-selling author, former kick-boxer and established podcaster Terrie Schauer joins me on today's show all about your investing practice.

In today's episode we reflect on what you - the listeners - are listening to and what you keep coming back with questions about.  As a landlord, you will likely keep striving for more solutions and ways to communicate better.  After a bit of reflecting on the podcast format and how to provide great value to YOU, we dive into landlord verbiage including:  what to say in a demand letter, how to say yes in a tenant qualifying interview, and just some of the many ways a landlord can say no.  In your rental business - in ANY business - WORDS MATTER.  Let's make them count!

Have you ever thought about a home value for just the building?  In your rental business, a home or duplex IS the value of the building, but is that the end of the value?  In rentals, the answer is NO.  Your VALUE is in the lease, and that lease is set up with a GREAT screened tenant, who is calm and behaving.  Sound too good to be true?  In today's episode, we talk about what a tenant IS, what a tenant is NOT, and then why the TENANT is the KEY to the rental asset.

As a landlord, you may not consider yourself a real estate developer, but in certain points of your rental journey, YOU ARE!  In today's episode we expand on the different aspects of unit recovery, that is, when a unit is between tenants.  Examining your choices based on local demand, budgeting money and time, and whether you re-rent or sell the home is exactly when a landlord temporarily becomes a developer!  This episode challenges you to do your homework, know your numbers and make the best choice for YOU in your rental business.
