    Description

    Every landlord has some wild tenant stories. We’re sharing the ones you probably won’t believe in this episode. And we’re not just talking about a bad eviction or an upstairs neighbor blasting loud music. Instead, we’re talking about identity theft, living room toilets (this actually happened), random people sleeping on YOUR couch, and the mystery of the magically appearing staircase. 
    Being a landlord isn’t always easy, but some stories make real estate investing truly worth it. We’ve seen some of our tenants turn their lives around completely, all by having a safe place to live. Even with all the chaos, broken toilets, non-paying tenants, and occasional hard conversations, being a landlord can be pretty rewarding.

    In This Episode We Cover:
    Why you MUST have a (secured) separate entrance when house hacking 
    The reason Henry now double-checks the identity of his tenants before signing a lease with them
    Turning bad tenants into good friends by taking shots with them 
    What to do when your tenants turn your living room into a bathroom (this one was pretty bad)
    Why taking a chance on a tenant isn’t always a bad thing and how being a great landlord can turn people’s lives around 
    And So Much More!
