      @@casewhite-954 Oh you look like you eat cold war propaganda for breakfast. At some point your system is going to drive society so far that there will be no more "high quality tenants". The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, there is no more inbetween. Most people you would call middle class are one missed paycheck away from poverty and people like asshat-kevin are the reason for that. And if that wasnt enough youre killing the fcking planet with it aswell. The poorest 50% of the planet produce a mere 2% of global co2 emissions while the top 2% a whoppping 50%. This "lifestyle" what you call it is just mindless consuming and investing to do more consuming. And wtf tells you im a failure at life? I got radicalized by my moms working conditions and several other things and i was able to get myself a better job than her, i have a loving family, very good friends, a few hobbies and i do my thing. Does this mean i cant be angry you're dehumanizing poor people and kill the planet? go read a fcking book that wasnt written by some bootlicking economist.

    Great video. How does one discover addendums that are local customs specific to your area if you are acting as your own property manager? This could be particulary important if it is a local legal custom to prevent landlords from getting sued. Does MeetKevin still strongly advise against DIY property management even if the person works hard to educate themself first, or is the risk of lawsuit over a small oversight too great for the first time property manager and not worth the risk?

(Never mind that they didn’t actually do any work to earn the property) We both know that they are just keyboard warriors who are frustrated that they lack the discipline to save their money and move out of their parents basement.

    Kevin, curious as to a specific process: Do you have showings with multiple prospects after you've cleared them on the phone? Or one at a time?
    If it's one at a time that can delay finding the great tenant and as you mentioned a great tenant has other options. Do you take multiple applications and showings, then pick the best? I do the phone screen and when I find one set up the appointment but if they don't work out I've got to reboot. Your process on that?

      It would be a service to the community if you paid cash for your buildings and passed your savings on not paying interest on to your renters. Buying mortgages and then renting them out is not a service to the community, it is placing the property of the community into the debt of banks and taking a piece of the profit for yourself. It's destructive to the housing market, after a few decades of this pattern hardly anyone can afford a house for a reasonable price any more.

      @@andrealucero8523 No, it has been nearly impossible to own property at several specific times and places in history. Definitely NOT always, some times and places it was extremely easy to own property and just required you to make a formal claim to it. At most times, property was within the reach of any profitable enterprise. It's a cycle. There were numerous times in history when debts were forgiven on the orders of a government. Some cultures codified the periodic forgiveness of debts into law, i.e the Judaic custom of jubilee. These are like relief valves to reduce the strain and stave off financial collapse or rebellion. Because the US and the modern world does not allow actual debt slavery and has inbuilt methods for reducing the strain of debt, i.e filing for bankruptcy, the system is able to grow with the economy and accumulate debt much longer without collapsing. However, we can clearly see in the last few decades that debt has begun outpacing growth and it will get to a point where minor stressors on the system like war or bad weather can lead to complete ruin.

      What's your credit utilization like? Even if you make all your payments on time, if you use a lot of your credit that is available to you, that works against you. Pay off some of those balances and your score should improve. Just a guess though since I have no idea what your situation is.
      By the way, 790 is excellent. Who cares if it is 790 or 810? Shouldn't affect rates much.

      ❤ Correct! There's no law that requires you to tell renters that you are the owner.
      From what I've been told by landlords is that when they inform tenants of being the property owner, sometimes renters will start acting needy/wanty (is that even a word? 🤣 LOL) "Bart1meuz, I want you to install a new stove. I want you to let me have pets. I'm having financial troubles, can you lower the monthly rent by $100? Have a heart, I need you to allow me skip next month's rent until my income improves." See how people will attempt to manipulate you? It's so much more convenient to tell renters that you are only the property manager. If renters start asking for favors or exceptions, it's easier to tell the renters that you checked with the home owner and advised the renters to stick to the lease.

If there was a problem, MOVE!!! "But the place was an uninhabitable, roach infested hell hole". OK, but that didn't stop you from squatting in a so called "uninhabitable" hell hole rent free for as long as possible right? Deadbeat tenants tell this to landlords every day..."You won't be able to get me out for at least 6 months, the law is on my side". Tenants voted for laws that protect deadbeat tenants. Then bitch because smart landlords screen the piss out of tenants now prior to handing over the keys. They used to try and give second chances and overlook things. Not anymore. Enjoy all your renters rights. And before all the renters here get buthurt over what I just said, become a landlord for a few years, then tell me all about how tenants should have a right to free housing.

    • @itzbebop
      @itzbebop 5 років тому

      credit score is just 1 thing to look at. first you have to make sure your property is something a tier 1 credit worthy person would want amd that its in a good enough neighborhood.
      next, when checking credit, you gotta look at how long ago the the bad behavior was that tanked their scores. if the negligent behavior was years ago and nothing recent has been bad, they may be worth taking in. Likewise if someone has shown a lot of growth in the last 9 months (like going from 500 to 680) thats also a very good sign and i would take a risk on that person. they're acrively working to fix their scores. Likewise if someone has a 700 score but they dont have much history, that score doesnt really mean much. a 700 score only achieved in the last 1 month is about as good as a 650 score in my opinion. the score itself is just 1 thing to look at.
      as far as renters insurance, the tenant can just get it theough any insurance company like statefarm or allstate.

      A Conneely yes and I still got access to high quality properties held by stringent landlords (agencies and asset managers).

That doesn’t mean you can’t ask for a review on your income and cash flows in case of a low score. Some of us have been renting since we were 18.
